This research will begin with the statement that the novel 1984 was published in 1949 and became one of the most popular literary works in 2oth century. This novel belongs to utopian literary works portraying totalitarian government and problems caused by strict government control and strict regime. Critics admit that Orwell's book is one of the central defining texts of the genre of dystopian fiction, dealing in important ways with almost all of the central motifs associated with the genre. For example, in the Oceania of Orwell's book certain mechanical applications of technology lend themselves directly to political oppression, even while science itself remains a potentially liberating realm of free thought. 1984 refers directly to the oppressive Stalinist regime then in power in Russia, but it echoes Hitler's German Nazi regime in numerous ways as well. The book stands as an eloquent plea that we remember the past and learns from it, that we in modern England and America do not forget (and therefore repeat) the excesses of Hitler and Stalin in our attempts to defend our democratic way of life. Orwell's major point may be that the complacency of the general population is one of the surest roads to the tyranny of those in official power. The novel vividly portrays a role and importance of a political party is the life of every state. The Party which rules the Oceania has no illusions about the nature of its mission....

er before a telescreen as programming focusing on the heinous treachery of official Party enemy Emmanuel Goldstein gradually whips the crowd into a frenzy the intensity of which might be envied by any Bible-thumping Southern preacher. The viewers jump up and down, screaming at the screen, and even those who are initially less than enthusiastic find themselves caught up in the mass hysteria: "The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in" (Orwell). At the end, the incendiary focus on Goldstein shifts to a calming focus on Big Brother, and the frenzy of hatred turns to a frenzy of devotion and loyalty whose religious echoes are unmistakable. At the end of one such session, a woman runs toward the screen: "With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Savior!' she extended her arms toward the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands. It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer" (Orwell). Given the Party's opposition to pleasure, it is not surprising that they take a dim view of unrestrained sexual activity (Wanner 77).

The Party is careful to assure that strong emotional attachments between family members do not develop in Oceania. Family members are effectively turned against one another, as children are encouraged to inform on their parents and spouses encouraged to spy on one another (Bloom 76). In Oceania, "[t]he family had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police" (Orwell). The Party of Oceania accepts a Freudian energy-based model of sublimation, feeling that "when you make love you're using up energy" that might be employed in the service of the Party.
