Theme of 1984


A theme from 1984 is when people find authority to be corrupt they tend to rebel. This theme exists because in the book 1984 the main character Winston rebels against his party. They have ever body watched by the screens and he gets frustrated. One example that shows him rebelling is in the beginning of book one when he writes in a journal. They are not supposed to be writing their thoughts and he knows that it’s wrong that he is doing it, but he continues anyways. By him doing this shows that he rebelling against the party, because inside his head he knows it’s wrong. Another example of him rebelling is when he starts to have a relationship with Julia. They can’t be seen together having a relationship, but they both do it anyways. They are both scared that they might get caught but they rebel and do it anyways. To not get caught they meet in a secret place so they won’t be seen. This shows that in the book Winston is not the only one rebelling against the party. Being controlled by someone and having very strict rules can cause people to rebel, because some people just get frustrated and tired of always being controlled.
