Orwell's view of society

George Orwell feels that society is full of mindless drones for people. In 1984, all of the people follow what they are told. I do not think that I would like to live in that society. No one is allowed to think outside of the box or to do anything out of the ordinary. Everyone is fearful that the thought-police will capture them for suspicious behavior, so they follow along without ever thinking anything for themselves. The history is constantly changed and the evidence is destroyed so they have no true records of history. There seems to be no true freedom and life seems to be meaningless.

  1. Good point Luke. The people shouldn't be forced into obeying through fear. Controlling what people think leaves the world very bland.
