“No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.” When 1960s folk singer Bob Dylan uttered these words, he might well have been lamenting the conditions described in George Orwell's 1984. The novel describes a totalitarian dystopia, Oceania, where there is no personal freedom and residents are constantly brainwashed. Without any sense of personal fairness, people work for a ubiquitous political party, performing their various tasks like cogs in machines. To achieve this goal, political leaders in 1984 suppress people's thinking and eliminate their freedom. This faceless but omnipresent leadership – Big Brother – uses a variety of techniques to repress people, including restrictive laws and incessant surveillance. However, the regime's main tool is propaganda, a perversion of language that denies residents the right to form their own ideas and at the same time alters the meaning of words to create a new language that reflects the values ​​and goals of the regime. government. , lies, myths and false information control residents' thinking. “Totalitarian regimes have adopted a deliberate policy of infantilizing their residents as a way to give the ruler unchallenged power over their lives” (Bryfonski 74). The Party uses propaganda as the most lethal weapon of power. Propaganda boosts residents' morale and makes them believe that what the party tells them to do is never wrong. There are mainly two types, one modifies the truth, the so-called doublethink, and the other creates fear. “Doublespeak” can be seen frequently in the world of 1984. The party's slogan, “WAR IS PEACE. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." (Orwell 4) is to convince the residents that what they want is what they already have...... middle of paper ......used to keep track of their parents, "L 'IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report their deviations" (Orwell 76). With extreme surveillance, residents may not express their own individual ideas towards the negative side of the Party, and also all thoughts are controlled because the Party "re-educates" people to an incorrect facial expression Using language as a tool of control and Using the evidence of sentences, Orwell creates a world where language, a word or a phrase, can determine a person's life. Although this language plays a key role in Party propaganda, you get "laws" and surveillance, physical control and psychological manipulation thoughts are continually repressed until they vanish after generations. In this world nothing is free, not even a bird.
