1984 poses a dystopian warning of the future centered on the importance of reality. Psychological manipulation is a recurrent theme throughout the book, making the reader question their perception of the world surrounding them. I like Orwell's depiction of physical elements of humanity, like sexuality, as intellectual acts of revolutionary empowerment. He emphasizes the importance of human impulses, and the empty shell left behind when we are robbed of emotion. One message in 1984 is the significance of language in society; the words we speak limit what we can express. If words are extinguished from existence, the ideas they communicate would be as well; alteration of language could render it impossible to even conceive of previous insubordinate thoughts. Rather than being exaggerated to perfectly fit Orwell's narrative, each character's personality incorporated fallacies that realistically shrouded the message with symbolism. In addition to being of cultural importance in our society, I think 1984 is beautifully written and entices the reader to turn each page. I especially appreciated the significance given to scenery, and the adjectives used to portray simple objects.
