1984 terrified me yet i loved it- doesn't Orwell allow the reader to commit doublethink when reading his narrative?<br>You are made (as a reader) to hate Bigbrother nd the tolatitarian state yet as the novel progresses you empathise with Winston, understanding how he and you could begin to love Big Brother. <br>Orwell challenges your own convictions as you beocme Winston in the Misitry of love and begin to question your own existence and feelings towards your loved ones.<br>For me it was not the fear of an omnipotent society but the fear of ones self that made 1984 the unforgettable classic that it is.
