Scientific evidence proves that altering the past is impossible. However the book 1984 is set in a utopia where a changeable past is the reoccurring reality. George Orwell presents such new ideas like this to create a book that causes thoughts to linger in readers’ minds long after the last page is flipped. Orwell’s thought provoking ideas are the center for 1984’s setting, characters and plot. New concepts exist in every aspect of the book; it’s the reason of interest for this book and why it’s being called a classic.

New ideas occur in the political mold for the utopia. In the book the main character, Winston, struggles inwardly because of his hatred towards the government. The controlling ruler is called, “Big Brother”. He is an absolute dictator with members of the inner party to help him terminate any unpatriotic feelings. As Winston learns more about the party and how it’s governed so effectively, it’s also then revealed to the reader.
The utmost deep portions that allow the party to be successful aren’t in the least bit mild. This book is known to be a negative utopia versus a positive one because of these tactics. Changing the past is accomplished by propaganda, destroying evidence of anything contradicting to the party, and simple rewriting the past to the party’s wishes. The disturbing part is that 1984 displays a very accurate picture of a world that humans are capable of reaching in the future.
Though 1984 is fiction, George Orwell writes with such clarity that he makes his world seem existent. Winston sees the flaws and injustices of his world, and the plot of the story follows his attempts to defy the party. He’s not satisfied with settling to obey the rules of the party. While Winston questions the integrity of his world and the intentions of his heart, so the reader is also compelled to do so.
The book 1984 is hard to describe in the sense that you have to be a part of it. First you have to read it and it will undoubtedly control your attention and engulf you in the story. It’s not going to leave the same sweet taste like a romance novel. However a bitter taste can be good, not all books should be read without making some thought provoking claims. With such effectiveness, Orwell invites you into his world of the party and big brother and Winston journey to stand against it.
