Hi everyone! I have to write a paper on one of the symols in 1984 and I need some help. I started writing the paper on the glass paperweight but I really don't like the paper I wrote. OK I know in the book 1984 there are tons of symbols but I need a really good one to write my paper on. What are some symbols that would make a really good paper? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think the main symbol in 1984 is freedom. Orwell makes a world where people have lost their capacity to have their own purposes and wishes.
A world where people don´t have initiative any more because they get used to living under a poweful state (Big Brother).
Only a love story can break all of that retaking again the human feelings that they thought to have lost forever.
Freedom was always the main subject at Orwell´s work.
Regards.
What's the book about, Shay?
I can only point out the obvious, that the paperweight, a non-functional decorative item, symbolizes Winston's attempt to connect to the world as it was before the Party.
