1984 - by George Orwell

Looking at Orwell's language and understanding his world.

We've already discussed big brother and the idea of constant fear to keep citizens or "comrades" under control...

Oceania is a world of paradox - Love is hate, Peace is war, Slavery is freedom...

What questions are you having while you read?

What do you make of Winston and the characters he meets?

What is your reaction to the world he lives in?
