Abstract

This study discusses the representations of totalitarianism in in George Orwell’s 1984. Totalitarianism refers totalitarianism is when regimes (political systems) control all public behaviour and as much of private behaviour as they can. No elections are held, or if they are, candidates must be approved by the ruling group. Physical force and/or arrests and detentions are used on people who protest against the regime. There are events such as parades or rallies. These suggest to the people that the ruling group is in complete control. Big brother and other work for George Orwell refers a lot to totalitarianism. He represents the concepts in most of his works and this is because he suffers a lot from this fact.
