Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on George Orwells 1984. It needs to be at least 1000 words.

This critic points that “the roles assigned to women in Oceania and in Winston Smith's mind fall into very limited stereotypes: the pure self-sacrificing mother, the frigid wife, the sexually aggressive and emotionally supportive mate.” (Mellor,1983 in Reed, 1984).Is it possible that the same writer that talked about a totalitarian system in one of his most influential works ever, had an attitude as conservative and repressed as the Party in the book? I hope not.I don’t believe that by making his female characters look somewhat stereotyped, Orwell was trying to encourage people to praise that, but the opposite. I think he was pointing his finger towards a world that shouldn’t be like that. Let’s have a look at the other female characters. For Winston, hope was symbolized by the Prole mother. He wrote: "If there is hope it is in the proles." The prole mother, although it may be seen as a stereotypical character, I believe the author meant her to be that way because her purpose in the story is to precisely to symbolize hope. She is a woman who will give birth to a future generation free of the totalitarian system. She is a symbol, and that is why perhaps her character seems so exaggerated and superficial.It is true that Winston’s mother appears as the self-sacrificing, caring, giving, admirable woman. But let’s not forget that the mother of Winston is an idealized character. we only know of her through Winston’s dreams, so it is possible that her character comes as a stereotypical suffering mother.
