小说《1984》英文赏析When finished the reading of 1984 by George Orwell, I felt a shiver down my spine. This is an anti-Utopia novel written in 1948, which is a strong criticism of Totalitarianism. This novel keenly calls for freedom. As mentioned in the New York Times, that one more person reads Orwell means one more guarantee for freedom.“Where there are how many creatures in the universe, there are how many centers. Each of us is a center. Therefore, when a hoarse voice says you are captured, the world will coll apse. ” These words from Solzhenitsyn come to my mind when I read Winston and Julia were captured in Charrington cabin. In 1984,the author creates a Totalitarian society. The world is occupied by three super powers, i.e. Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. The tree powers are frequently in war. Their national structure is totally destroyed. Instead, a high degree of Totalitarianism rules over the nation. History, language, etc are falsified to control people’s thought. “Telescreens” are employed to supervise pe ople’s behavior. All the society looks more like a prison. Winston, from the Oceania, originally is a person with independent thinking. Unfortunately, he was captured by t he “thought police” O’ Brien and was brainwashed to believe that two plus two equals five. And he finally yielded to the dictator Big Brother. This proves what said by Winston that “thought crime doesn’t lead to death. Instead, itself is death.” If Winston insists on his independent thought, he has to die; if Winston abandons his independent thought, he is none other than a walking dead.The pursuit for freedom is human’s nature as we are born.“Some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all. Their feather s are just too bright.” In the film The Shawshank Redemption, Andy, who was set up to prison, spent 19 years to dig a tunnel and succeeded in breaking out of the prison. What Andy yearns for is freedom, a free body exactly. While in 1984, the freedom of Winston refers to the freedom of body and thought. In Oceania, there is “telescreens” to supervise people’s body. There is also “doublethink” to occupy people’s thought. “Doublethink” means there are two opposite thoughts within one mind, which are both acceptable. There is a case in point in 1984. When Oceania fights against Eurasia, the troops turn to attack without any doubt Eastasia after they heard from the frontline that their enemy is Eastasia rather than Eurasia. Hence, all the materials publicizing the war between Oceania and Eurasia are out of date all of sudden. These materials are replaced in a lightning speed. On the one hand, people are delicately devising lies. On the other hand, they truly believe in these lies. What is truth? Truth may be lies packaged by lies or be the deformed memories.It is quite interesting that those imprisoned never eve think of breaking out. Is it because they have no idea that they are in prison? The answer is no. Actually, the smarter people are, the more mediocre the ir thought may be. “Thought Police” O’ Brien is a good example. He knows clearly that the society is retrogressing. His choice is to be a screw in the machine-like system full of lies. Thus, he has to be under supervision of the Big Brother. O’ Brien cannot be regarded as an “Evil of banality” proposed by Hannah Arendt, but a sensib le devil. As pursuit for freedom is our nature, why O’ Brien gives up his nature? Maybe Fromm can give us an answer.Fromm analyzes the reason why Nazi can seize the Germanyin his work Escape from Freedom. In his opinion, those who escape are both sadist and masochist. On the one hand, they want to control everything, to destroy everything. On the other hand, in their sub-consciousness, they convert the social conventions into their own experience to avoid free thinking and to get away from anxiety. O’ Br ien may be in this way. The freedom per his understanding means not only the rule over himself, but also the rule over the others. However, this kind of freedom is analienation of liberty and is also a disrespect. Meanwhile, he internalized the “truth” pu blicizing in the T otalitarian society as his own thought. He puts himself in a morbid system and becomes part of the overall environment. He is bound by the environment. He is also dependant on the environment. He even enjoys the environment. O’ Brien is s imilar to Brooks Hatlen in the film of The Shawshank Redemption. Brooks is not willing to leave prison after his 50 years’ stay. Because once he leaves prison, what he feels is not freedom but the terror of being free. What freedom means to Brooks is the loss of his position in prison. Out of prison, there is nothing for him to count on. What is left is only his lonely heart and mind. His fear for freedom causes his suicide.Freedom imprisoned in a cell is not a real one. Could a bird be free just because it is allowed to sing in a cage? Obviously not. Freedom under manipulation is an extreme freedom. A circle in a blank paper may intersect with each other as long as they keep e nlarging. Actually, an uninterrupted freedom doesn’t exist. This reflects the true meaning of the last words by Mrs. Ronald, i.e. freedom, that crimes are committed in thy name. Freedom full of sense of slavery is a Cynicism freedom. As said by the BigBro ther “Freedom is slavery”, human would be no more than the “existence under the level biological vegetable” said by Havel, if everyone yields to the supervision and abandons their ability to think.“We will meet in a place without darkness.” This is the pr omise that O’ Brien made for Winston. In the end of the novel, O’ Brien fulfills this promise. Winston becomes a total “free person in a cell” due to the reformation of O’ Brien. Winston is grateful to O’ Brien for giving him the freedom as big as the bottom of a well. The tragedy in 1984 of is worth contemplation.。

1984赏析

1984赏析

1984赏析《1984》是乔治·奥威尔(George Orwell)于1949年出版的一部经典小说。

它以极大的预见性和深度描述了一个极权主义社会的形象。

这部小说揭示了个人权利的摧毁、政府操控人民思想的可怕程度以及真理的扭曲。

通过细腻的描写和恐怖的情节,奥威尔成功地向读者展现了一个反乌托邦的世界,强调了个人自由和言论的重要性。

在这个小说中,作者将故事背景设定在一个被称为“Oceania”的国家。

这个国家完全被一个叫做“党”的政治组织所控制。

政府通过不断改写历史、监视人民以及进行大规模的宣传来维持统治。

在这个社会中,人们的思想和行为都受到严格的限制,大部分的自由被夺走。

每个人都不得不接受党的意识形态,并不断被迫参与到对政府的膜拜和颂扬中。

《1984》的主角温斯顿·史密斯是一个普通的党员,但他对现实中的极权主义体制感到不满,并有追求真理和自由的渴望。

他开始记录和思考自己内心的真实感受,这在整个小说中展示了个体反抗的可能性。

温斯顿在这个全然被监视的社会中,与一个叫茱莉娅的女性发起了一段禁忌的爱情。

通过这段爱情,小说揭示了个人情感的力量,以及人类对自由和真实的渴望。

《1984》的名字来自于小说中的特殊日期“1984年”。

这个数字表明了小说中党对时间和历史的扭曲。

在党的宣传中,他们声称已经取得了胜利,消灭了一切反抗,完全消除了自由思想的可能性。

然而,温斯顿和其他一些人并不接受这种扭曲的真理,他们试图揭示党所控制的谎言,并保持自己内心的自由。

小说中的另一个重要角色是“Big Brother”(老大哥)。

他是党的象征,人们要时刻听从他的命令和指示。

奥威尔通过刻画老大哥的形象,强调了政府控制下的权威和恐惧对于个体的打击。

老大哥的面孔无处不在,人们被告知他能看到一切,这种普遍的监视和恐惧感加深了读者对这个社会的恐怖感受。

通过细腻的描写和恐怖的情节,奥威尔成功地揭示了极权主义对人类自由的极端威胁。

1984book review 1984英文书评

周冬暖翻译一班0111119074 book report of 1984Author:George Orwell, born in India, was an English writer , journalist, and social critics. Before this great work comes out, Orwell was a writer suffering from poverty and hunger, and had hardly any repute at all. Not until in 1950, did this great work be published, yet by no means can he bath in the sun the book would bring him, for before long, his life was taken by the hand of tuberculosis. Orwell is known to the world not only as a novelist in his own peculiar voice, but also as a political prophet with phenomenal vision. The new words he had created in his novels as ‘newspeak’ ,’doublethink’ and ‘big brother ’are all sucked in by many prestigious English dictionaries.Summary of the book:The world in 1984 is divided by three countries: the Oceania, the Eurasian and the East Asian countries. Under the innocent outlook of a party member, Winston entertains great doubt towards the society in which he has been trained as a child, and towards the Big Brother, the invincible leader of the country, which is equivalent to a thought crime. After disarmed to the inner party, he wasreshaped to be pure in mind in accords with the standard of the party, and put to death afterwards.Comment:No doubt 1984 is a political satirical fiction ,but it is more than that, for an element of humanism, represented by the depiction of the character, Winston ,is blended with the political aspect. Written in the 1940s, the book is to some degree a prediction of the future, and, one point noteworthy to point out is that a lot of plots Orwell had designed in the book did allegedly show up in reality in the later 40 years after it came up. Through a delicate depiction of an ordinary person’s whole life, Orwell reveals to us a power-oriented society of stifling hierarchy and the cant façade of harmonious socialism, unfurling the deep-down essence of totalitarian.Personally, it is not those essences of totalitarian that touch upon me the most, for totalitarian is such a thing that I almost take for granted as something that would entail danger, horror, confusing, and terrorism, hence such a scene of life under a omnipresent oppressive party of totalitarian should comes to no surprise, and furthermore, whatever goes to extreme never give birth togoodness, which fix perfectly the philosophy of ancient China, namely, ”the ration of being in the middle ground ”. What stir my heart virtually are those details and incidents, which precisely constitute the texture of the book. Just a few examples:“ Curiously, the chiming of the hour seemed to have put new heart into him. He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear, but so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage. He went back to the table, dipped his pen and wrote: to the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone—to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone, from the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of big brother, from the age of doublethink—greetings!”This is one of my favorite paragraphs of the book, the monologue Winston set down in his diary in particular. Curiously, somehow I am convinced that it is not merely the voice of Winston, but in Orwell himself as well, for freedom is always an enterprise to be pursued, especially in his time Orwell was probably been closely watched bythe government. Though I have never been under that sort of circumstance, I find an vibration within these lines in a peculiar way. Something that is written down, even though not being seen or comprehended by anyone, come into being itself and hence a continuity can be preserved. Hitherto for me it is nothing but a method to keep track of the petty inspirations of life, while for Orwell these lines outlived him and surpass the limitation of time and space to come across me and many others.“I understand how, but I don’t understand why.”It is the faculty of suspecting, of questioning that always stimulate a society or a person to move forward, that leads Winston, though negatively, rebel against the party. It reminds me of a sent ence, “law can never make us as secure as we are when we do not need it. Those freedoms which are neither challenged nor defined are the most secure”, derived from the book,‘Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment’. Doubting is the immediate son of wisdom. Those who may easily maintain a faith for the party is those who are foreign to it.“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” The three slogans is the epitome of the whole fiction. When theprinciple of ‘stay stupid, stay cool’ of Steve Jobs have prevailed in our age, what I learn from the book ,or what I in terpret from the novel is that ,being good for good’s sake, and never goes to extreme. Hear the voice from within.。

1984读后感英文

1984读后感英文

1984读后感英文1984 is a dystopian novel written by George Orwell in 1949. The novel is set in a totalitarian society where the government, led by the Party and its leader Big Brother, has complete control over every aspect of its citizens' lives. The novel follows the protagonist, Winston Smith, as he rebels against the oppressive regime and seeks to find freedom and truth in a world of lies and manipulation.After reading 1984, I was left with a profound sense of unease and a deep appreciation for the freedoms that we often take for granted in our own society. Orwell's portrayal of a world where individuality is suppressed, history is rewritten, and independent thought is punishable by death is a chilling reminder of the dangers of unchecked government power.One of the most striking aspects of the novel is the concept of "doublethink," where citizens are forced to accept contradictory beliefs and opinions as truth. Thismanipulation of reality serves to maintain the Party's control over its citizens and reinforces the idea that the truth is whatever the Party says it is. This manipulation of truth is a powerful commentary on the dangers of propaganda and the importance of critical thinking in a free society.The character of Winston Smith serves as a symbol of the human desire for freedom and the struggle against oppression. His journey from a loyal Party member to a rebellious dissident is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Despite the constant surveillance and threat of punishment, Winston continues to seek out the truth and resist the Party's control, even at great personal risk.The novel's exploration of love and loyalty in a world where trust is a scarce commodity is also deeply moving. Winston's relationship with Julia, a fellow rebel, is a rare source of warmth and connection in a world that is cold and indifferent. Their love for each other becomes an act of rebellion in itself, as they strive to find momentsof intimacy and humanity in a society that seeks to crush any form of individual expression.Orwell's depiction of the Party's use of technology for surveillance and control is eerily prescient, given the advancements in surveillance technology in the years since the novel was written. The telescreens that are omnipresent in the novel, monitoring citizens' every move and word, are a haunting reminder of the potential dangers of unchecked government surveillance and the erosion of privacy rights.Overall, 1984 is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that continues to resonate with readers decades after its publication. Orwell's warning about the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of defending individual freedoms is as relevant today as it was when the novel was first written. It serves as a stark reminder of thefragility of freedom and the constant vigilance required to protect it from those who seek to suppress it. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who is interested in exploring the darker side of human nature and the power of the human spirit to resist oppression.。
