I do not like the way these people anylised this book. This was not just a simple reaction to one’s environment, it was actually an inbred foreshadowed knowledge attained by actually being a part of more eletist societies, which for a very long time, especially since the first World War, have willingly sought out centralisation and “big brother” tendencies. I would be so bold as to say that Orwell knew these agendas, and instead of adher to them, he attempted to warn people through a fiction. And he did so in such an extremely accurate and convncingly sound manor that there needs to be different way of anylizing the accuracy of the story.
