Summary |
|
George Orwell wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four in the year nineteen forty-eight, so the book can be called a science fiction story. Nineteen eighty-four is divided into three parts. Each part has a different atmosphere and a different function. |

Part I |
|
In the first part the reader is introduced to the frightening world in which the main character lives. The story is set in London, which is part of Oceania, one of the three powers of the world. The main character is called Winston Smith; he’s 39 years old and works in the Ministry of Truth. In his job he has to falsify media in such a way that also in hindsight the party has always been right. Winston is a member of the party, but he’s not loyal to it. |

This is an underground organization which works against the Party, under the rule of the Party’s arch enemy Emmanuel Goldstein. |
Winston and Julia really succeed in getting in contact with the Brotherhood, through a member of the inner Party, called O’Brien. O’Brien organizes that they get the banned book of Emmanuel Goldstein and...
