I need some help on these 3 Topics, Just a few comments that could make me understand it better .

1.‘Winston’s relationship with Julia is ultimately responsible for his fate.’



2. ‘The story of Nineteen Eighty Four engages us as readers, however its social criticism is disturbing.’ Discuss


3. ‘In Nineteen Eighty Four, Orwell has created a bleak picture of the future and a world without hope.’ How has he Achieved this?

1.‘Winston’s relationship with Julia is ultimately responsible for his fate.’

Basically, was Winston silly to break that rule? Was that what led him to his fate?

2. ‘The story of Nineteen Eighty Four engages us as readers, however its social criticism is disturbing.’ Discuss
Talk about its social criticism.



3. ‘In Nineteen Eighty Four, Orwell has created a bleak picture of the future and a world without hope.’ How has he Achieved this?

First of all, do you agree with the statement? Secondly, what has Orwell done which gives the reader that impression?

This is wrong. Winston had clearly been watched long before he met Julia and his relationship with her was not responsible for his fate.


2. ‘The story of Nineteen Eighty Four engages us as readers, however its social criticism is disturbing.’ Discuss

Mind control, torture, one-party state, sporadic bombardment of the cities - I'd call that disturbing.


3. ‘In Nineteen Eighty Four, Orwell has created a bleak picture of the future and a world without hope.’ How has he Achieved this?

By giving the Party omnipotence.

Go through the book and underline anything you think is important, even if you don't know why.
