basically, i found book very interesting, the beginning and middle were very fun to read, but the end was scary, basically, even though i didnt have much to say, i liked it, it showed how winston changes over time and stuff, how winston gets so brainwashed into submission by the party into loving big brother, how he falls into submission that 2 + 2 can be anything, how he and jualia betrayed one another and what at first seemed fluffy love with a cliche storyline, it ended in a heartbreaking stop to their relationship and then the death of winston with his brainwashed and crushed personality after a lot of torture and jailing
its a very engaging story with an interesting storyline, ive only read one good ( but not as good ) book, white shroud ( baltoji drobulė ) by antanas škėma, both had a very nice story line and i really enjoyed reading them, both of them showed strong emotion which i really liked, characters faced trouble in life but somehow managed and overall they were good books
while reading 1984 i made this blog post -- https://blog.ari.lt/b/corporate-marionettes/ and 1984 was an inspiration for me even though i already used that term before ive read it, thats why 1984 still stands to this day, in the age where companies get a monopoly on peoples data and algorithms so good to keep u on there its like the party shoving u into its ideologistic system, which many people are brainwashed, like winston at the end, to not resist and follow their trails without saying a word
one of the most striking parts for me is how much impact totalitarianism makes to a human mind, winston was healthy and was correct, party should be overthrown and is not stable, it is an oppressive mess built on hate and discrimination, but then they turned him into a weak bag of bones which was easily forced into submission and their ideology, they turned him into a toy without any will or identity
to conclude, i think anyone interested in power, control, truth and individual freedom should read it, its a lovely and interesting book and i think a lot of people would enjoy it
have a nice day, hopefully i peaked your interest a bit :)
