are surprised by the brutal ending of Nineteen Eighty-Four.' response:
George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four was published in 1949 with the horrors of
World War II still fresh in the minds of the novel’s original readership. Descriptions
of life in this futuristic London, now ‘Airstrip One’ are unrelentingly bleak for the
proles and even most of the Party members; the only luxuries are reserved for the
Inner Party and a black market in commodities like real coffee. The images of the
novel’s first page ‘Victory Mansions’ (the name itself doubly ironic) with the ‘swirl
of gritty dust’ and the pervasive smell of ‘boiled cabbage and old rag mats’ would
have been familiar to any Londoner living through the winters of reconstruction and
rationing that persisted until the early 1950s. In this grim setting unfolds an even
grimmer story, punctuated by the love between Julia and Winston and the hope,
though faint (and possibly orchestrated by the Party anyhow), of rebellion and an
overthrow of the perfect system of totalitarian rule: Ingsoc. While it might be natural
to hope for a miraculous turnabout, a heroic act that will make Winston the hero and
unite the lovers, the brutal ending of the main narrative should come as no surprise to
a perceptive reader. The novel has foreshadowed both Ingsoc’s strength and
Winston’s fears and weaknesses. Indeed, Winston seems to know his fate from the
first chapter, realising that “sooner or later they were bound to get you.” Orwell’s
grim narrative is only possibly balanced or countered by a hope that lies in the
Appendix of the novel: a discussion of the future world’s vocabulary that, in its use of
the past tense seems to indicate that the reign of the Party has ceased. This was not a
novel designed to cheer up Britain and congratulate the people for their part in
winning the war. This was a novel to show that a state of unending violence would be
the most effective way to suppress the human spirit; a warning that the future could in
O’Brien’s words be: ‘…a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever.’
