One key factor in a Utopia is equality of all. In George Orwells "1984" the party tries to control everyone's thoughts and actions. They do this with a specialized technology called telescreens. These are in every house and are required to be on all the time. They will show propaganda for the party as well as monitor your thoughts and actions and report any suspicions to the thought police. By doing this everyone is required to think the same way and act The same was as well.
Religion has not been discussed so far in the book. When it comes to relationships, most people are too brainwashed to care. All sexual desires have Been abandoned in the process of conforming the community. When two people get married they must first be approved by the party and if they show any physical attraction towards one another their request will be denied. All sexual actions are only for populating the empire that the party rules over.
Friendships are not allowed. You are not allowed to get emotionally close to anyone. If you do (and get caught) you will be brainwashed to the point that you go crazy and act like a zombie.
Inside of the craziness of the party, People still believe they are happy. They honestly and truly believe that they are happy inside.
The place Winston smith lives is a Dystopia. Despite the party's efforts to create equality and happiness, the city is still falling apart and is not functioning correctly.
First off, book titles get underlined or italicized.
ReplyDeleteTypos "same way and act The same was as well." need to eliminated.
You touched on many good points, but were vague in your explanations, "Friendships are not allowed. You are not allowed to get emotionally close to anyone." Then you need to tell me that by eliminating these bonds they are trying to reduce conflict. (Or whatever claim you believe to be true about the facts you've jsut stated.)
