‭Introduction‬‭to‬‭the‬‭author‬
‭ ritish‬‭author‬‭George‬‭Orwell,‬‭the‬‭pen‬‭name‬‭of‬‭Eric‬‭Arthur‬‭Blair,‬‭was‬
B
‭born‬‭on‬‭June‬‭25,‬‭1903,‬‭in‬‭Motihari,‬‭India‬‭near‬‭the‬‭Nepalese‬‭border.‬‭At‬
‭the‬‭time‬‭of‬‭Blair’s‬‭birth,‬‭India‬‭was‬‭part‬‭of‬‭the‬‭British‬‭Empire,‬‭and‬‭his‬
‭father,‬‭Richard,‬‭worked‬‭as‬‭an‬‭agent‬‭in‬‭the‬‭Opium‬‭Department‬‭of‬‭the‬
‭Indian‬‭Civil‬‭Service.‬
‭ he‬‭Blair‬‭family‬‭lived‬‭a‬‭middle-class‬‭lifestyle,‬‭yet‬‭chose‬‭to‬‭return‬‭to‬
T
‭England‬‭in‬‭1907,‬‭when‬‭Eric‬‭was‬‭eight‬‭years‬‭old.‬‭Originally‬‭enrolling‬
‭in‬‭a‬‭private‬‭school‬‭in‬‭Sussex,‬‭Eric‬‭won‬‭a‬
‭scholarship‬‭to‬‭Wellington‬‭at‬‭age‬‭13,‬‭and‬‭another‬‭scholarship‬‭to‬‭Eton,‬‭a‬
‭prestigious‬‭college‬‭preparatory‬‭school.‬
‭ rom‬‭a‬‭young‬‭age,‬‭Eric‬‭Blair‬‭desired‬‭to‬‭be‬‭a‬‭writer.‬‭Although‬‭he‬‭had‬‭worked‬‭very‬‭hard‬‭to‬‭be‬‭accepted‬‭to‬
F
‭Eton,‬‭teenaged‬‭Eric‬‭was‬‭no‬‭longer‬‭particularly‬‭interested‬‭in‬‭exerting‬‭himself‬‭academically,‬‭unless‬‭it‬‭was‬
‭toward‬‭a‬‭goal‬‭he‬‭had‬‭chosen.‬‭To‬‭this‬‭end,‬‭he‬‭spent‬‭much‬‭of‬‭his‬‭time‬‭reading‬‭the‬‭works‬‭of‬‭well-known‬
‭British‬‭authors,‬‭and‬‭less‬‭time‬‭completing‬‭the‬‭required‬‭academics.‬
‭2‬
‭ fter‬‭graduating‬‭at‬‭the‬‭bottom‬‭of‬‭his‬‭class‬‭from‬‭Eton,‬‭Blair‬‭joined‬‭the‬‭Indian‬‭Imperial‬‭Police‬‭in‬‭Burma‬
A
‭where‬‭he‬‭served‬‭for‬‭five‬‭years.‬‭In‬‭1927,‬‭Blair‬‭resigned‬‭from‬‭his‬‭position‬‭so‬‭he‬‭could‬‭spend‬‭more‬‭time‬
‭writing.‬‭He‬‭had‬‭also‬‭grown‬‭disdainful‬‭of‬‭the‬‭police‬‭force‬‭since‬‭he‬‭felt‬‭that‬‭working‬‭as‬‭a‬‭policeman‬
‭supported‬‭a‬‭political‬‭structure‬‭he‬‭did‬‭not‬‭believe‬‭in.‬‭The‬‭burgeoning‬‭author‬‭did‬‭write‬‭about‬‭his‬‭time‬‭as‬‭a‬
‭police‬‭officer,‬‭though,‬‭in‬‭Burmese‬‭Days‬‭(1934).‬
‭ ow‬‭living‬‭in‬‭London‬‭and‬‭Paris,‬‭Blair‬‭chose‬‭to‬‭live‬‭among‬‭the‬‭poor‬‭and‬‭those‬‭who‬‭had‬‭been‬‭trampled‬
N
‭upon‬‭in‬‭society.‬‭Originally‬‭titled‬‭A‬‭Scullion’s‬‭Diary,‬‭the‬‭author‬‭compiled‬‭his‬‭experiences‬‭in‬‭Down‬‭and‬
‭Out‬‭in‬‭Paris‬‭and‬‭London‬‭(1933).‬‭Upon‬‭publishing‬‭this‬‭novel,‬‭Eric‬‭Blair‬‭took‬‭the‬‭pen‬‭name‬‭of‬‭George‬
‭Orwell‬‭so‬‭he‬‭could‬‭rid‬‭himself‬‭of‬‭his‬‭Eton‬‭background‬‭and‬‭reinvent‬‭himself‬‭as‬‭an‬‭anti-authoritarian‬
‭citizen‬‭and‬‭anti-establishment‬‭revolutionist‬‭who‬‭belonged‬‭to‬‭no‬‭particular‬‭social‬‭class.‬‭Down‬‭and‬‭Out‬‭in‬
‭Paris‬‭and‬‭London‬‭also‬‭began‬‭Orwell’s‬‭lifelong‬‭ambition‬‭of‬‭writing‬‭to‬‭enlighten‬‭people‬‭about‬‭painful‬
‭truths‬‭and‬‭to‬‭place‬‭himself‬‭in‬‭the‬‭position‬‭of‬‭being‬‭an‬‭arbiter‬‭of‬‭moral‬‭conscience.‬
I‭ n‬‭his‬‭next‬‭book,‬‭The‬‭Road‬‭to‬‭Wigan‬‭Pier‬‭(1937),‬‭Orwell‬‭brought‬‭to‬‭life‬‭the‬‭miners‬‭in‬‭north‬‭England.‬‭He‬
‭also‬‭criticized‬‭English‬‭socialists‬‭who‬‭he‬‭thought‬‭used‬‭all‬‭the‬‭appropriate‬‭vocabulary,‬‭such‬‭as‬‭“proletarian‬
‭solidarity,”‬‭(supporting‬‭the‬‭working‬‭class)‬‭but‬‭who‬‭did‬‭not‬‭actually‬‭live‬‭out‬‭the‬‭life‬‭of‬‭their‬‭mottos.‬
‭ fter‬‭finishing‬‭The‬‭Road‬‭to‬‭Wigan‬‭Pier,‬‭Orwell‬‭traveled‬‭to‬‭Spain‬‭to‬‭fight‬‭for‬‭the‬‭Loyalists‬‭in‬‭the‬‭Spanish‬
A
‭Civil‬‭War.‬‭There,‬‭Orwell‬‭first‬‭lived‬‭in‬‭a‬‭land‬‭without‬‭class‬‭distinctions‬‭and‬‭watched‬‭his‬‭socialist‬‭comrades‬
‭live‬‭according‬‭to‬‭their‬‭beliefs.‬‭After‬‭being‬‭wounded,‬‭Orwell‬‭fled‬‭from‬‭Spain‬‭as‬‭the‬‭Communists‬‭tried‬‭to‬
‭eradicate‬‭their‬‭previously‬‭socialist‬‭allies.‬‭In‬‭1938,‬‭the‬‭author‬‭composed‬‭Homage‬‭to‬‭Catalonia‬‭about‬‭his‬
‭time‬‭in‬‭Spain.‬‭In‬‭the‬‭volume,‬‭Orwell‬‭relates‬‭that‬‭his‬‭experiences‬‭in‬‭Spain‬‭showed‬‭him‬‭that‬‭socialism‬‭was‬
‭truly‬‭possible,‬‭but‬‭also‬‭forced‬‭him‬‭to‬‭realize‬‭that‬‭class‬‭differences,‬‭as‬‭well‬‭as‬‭violence,‬‭conflict,‬‭and‬‭power‬
‭struggles‬‭will‬‭always‬‭exist.‬
‭ hen‬‭war‬‭began‬‭between‬‭England‬‭and‬‭Germany‬‭in‬‭1939,‬‭Orwell‬‭was‬‭unable‬‭to‬‭fight‬‭against‬‭fascism‬
W
‭since‬‭he‬‭was‬‭recovering‬‭from‬‭a‬‭bout‬‭with‬‭tuberculosis.‬‭He‬‭instead‬‭joined‬‭the‬‭British‬‭Broadcasting‬
‭Company‬‭(BBC)‬‭working‬‭as‬‭a‬‭producer‬‭for‬‭its‬‭Indian‬‭division.‬‭Some‬‭believe‬‭that‬‭Orwell’s‬‭stint‬‭with‬‭the‬
‭BBC‬‭may‬‭have‬‭inspired‬‭the‬‭“newspeak”‬‭language‬‭he‬‭employs‬‭in‬‭1984.‬
I‭ n‬‭1943,‬‭Orwell‬‭resigned‬‭from‬‭the‬‭BBC‬‭and‬‭went‬‭to‬‭work‬‭as‬‭a‬‭literary‬‭editor‬‭for‬‭the‬‭Tribune‬‭and‬‭began‬
‭writing‬‭Animal‬‭Farm‬‭(1945),‬‭a‬‭modern‬‭fable‬‭which‬‭speaks‬‭out‬‭against‬‭Stalinist‬‭Russia‬‭and‬‭the‬
‭Communist‬‭Regime.‬‭Later‬‭in‬‭1945,‬‭the‬‭author‬‭relocated‬‭to‬‭the‬‭Scottish‬‭island‬‭of‬‭Jura‬‭where‬‭he‬‭composed‬
‭1984‬‭(1949).‬‭When‬‭Orwell‬‭wrote‬‭1984,‬‭the‬‭world‬‭was‬‭recovering‬‭from‬‭World‬‭War‬‭II‬‭and‬‭the‬‭issues‬‭it‬
‭raised‬‭concerning‬‭fascism.‬‭This‬‭same‬‭time‬‭period‬‭also‬‭marks‬‭the‬‭beginning‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Cold‬‭War‬‭and‬
‭democratic‬‭countries’‬‭reckoning‬‭with‬‭rising‬‭communist‬‭states.‬
‭This‬‭masterpiece‬‭portrays‬‭Orwell’s‬‭fear‬‭of‬‭mankind‬‭evolving‬‭into‬‭an‬‭overly‬‭bureaucratized‬‭state‬‭and‬
‭reflects‬‭the‬‭pain‬‭the‬‭author‬‭suffered‬‭as‬‭he‬‭continued‬‭to‬‭cope‬‭with‬‭tuberculosis.‬
‭After‬‭living‬‭in‬‭and‬‭out‬‭of‬‭hospitals‬‭for‬‭several‬‭years,‬‭Orwell‬‭succumbed‬‭to‬‭tuberculosis‬‭on‬‭January‬‭21,‬
‭1950,‬‭in‬‭London.‬‭He‬‭was‬‭46‬‭years‬‭old.‬

‭Alternative‬‭Game:‬
I‭ n‬‭this‬‭activity,‬‭you'll‬‭explore‬‭the‬‭concept‬‭of‬‭surveillance,‬‭just‬‭like‬‭in‬‭the‬‭world‬‭of‬‭"1984,"‬‭where‬
‭Big‬‭Brother‬‭is‬‭always‬‭watching.‬‭Here's‬‭what‬‭you‬‭need‬‭to‬‭know‬‭to‬‭participate:‬
‭ bjective‬
O
‭Understand‬‭how‬‭being‬‭watched‬‭can‬‭affect‬‭our‬‭actions‬‭and‬‭feelings.‬
‭Reflect‬‭on‬‭the‬‭importance‬‭of‬‭privacy‬‭and‬‭the‬‭impact‬‭of‬‭surveillance‬‭in‬‭society.‬
‭ hat‬‭You'll‬‭Need‬
W
‭An‬‭open‬‭mind‬‭and‬‭a‬‭willingness‬‭to‬‭participate.‬
‭Respect‬‭for‬‭the‬‭privacy‬‭and‬‭feelings‬‭of‬‭your‬‭classmates.‬
‭ he‬‭Role‬‭of‬‭Big‬‭Brother‬
T
‭One‬‭of‬‭us‬‭will‬‭be‬‭chosen‬‭to‬‭play‬‭the‬‭role‬‭of‬‭"Big‬‭Brother"‬‭for‬‭this‬‭activity.‬‭This‬‭could‬‭be‬‭a‬
‭volunteer‬‭or‬‭someone‬‭selected‬‭by‬‭the‬‭teacher.‬
‭"Big‬‭Brother"‬‭will‬‭be‬‭observing‬‭the‬‭class‬‭for‬‭a‬‭set‬‭period,‬‭noting‬‭behaviors‬‭and‬‭interactions‬
‭without‬‭intervening.‬
‭The‬‭Observation‬‭Period‬
‭During‬‭the‬‭activity,‬‭carry‬‭on‬‭with‬‭your‬‭classwork‬‭or‬‭discussions‬‭as‬‭you‬‭normally‬‭would,‬‭but‬‭be‬
‭aware‬‭that‬‭"Big‬‭Brother"‬‭is‬‭observing.‬
‭The‬‭observation‬‭will‬‭last‬‭for‬‭a‬‭specific‬‭period,‬‭such‬‭as‬‭the‬‭duration‬‭of‬‭one‬‭class.‬
‭6‬
‭ fter‬‭the‬‭Observation‬
A
‭"Big‬‭Brother"‬‭will‬‭share‬‭their‬‭observations‬‭with‬‭the‬‭class.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭not‬‭about‬‭calling‬‭anyone‬‭out‬
‭but‬‭about‬‭noticing‬‭how‬‭we‬‭may‬‭change‬‭our‬‭behavior‬‭when‬‭we‬‭know‬‭we're‬‭being‬‭watched.‬
‭We'll‬‭have‬‭a‬‭group‬‭discussion‬‭about‬‭what‬‭it‬‭felt‬‭like‬‭to‬‭be‬‭observed,‬‭how‬‭our‬‭behavior‬‭may‬‭have‬
‭changed,‬‭and‬‭what‬‭this‬‭tells‬‭us‬‭about‬‭the‬‭nature‬‭of‬‭surveillance.‬
‭Chapter‬‭One‬
‭ ummary:‬‭It‬‭is‬‭April‬‭4,‬‭1984,‬‭as‬‭Winston‬‭Smith‬‭returns‬‭to‬‭his‬‭home‬‭at‬‭Victory‬‭Mansions.‬‭He‬‭tries‬‭to‬‭hide‬
S
‭the‬‭diary‬‭he‬‭recently‬‭purchased‬‭on‬‭the‬‭black‬‭market‬‭from‬‭the‬‭telescreen,‬‭a‬‭device‬‭that‬‭monitors‬‭citizens‬
‭and‬‭provides‬‭propaganda,‬‭in‬‭his‬‭apartment.‬‭While‬‭writing,‬‭Winston‬‭stops‬‭to‬‭think‬‭about‬‭a‬‭woman‬‭he‬‭saw‬
‭at‬‭work,‬‭an‬‭Inner‬‭Party‬‭member‬‭named‬‭O’Brien,‬‭and‬‭The‬‭Hate,‬‭a‬‭daily‬‭rant‬‭that‬‭occurs‬‭against‬
‭Goldstein.‬‭Winston‬‭then‬‭scrawls‬‭“Down‬‭with‬‭Big‬‭Brother”‬‭repeatedly‬‭in‬‭his‬‭diary‬‭and‬‭thinks‬‭that‬‭doing‬
‭so‬‭will‬‭probably‬‭get‬‭him‬‭killed‬‭.‬
‭ omprehension‬‭Questions:‬
C
‭1.‬‭Examine‬‭why‬‭Airstrip‬‭One‬‭operates‬‭on‬‭military‬‭time,‬‭as‬‭opposed‬‭to‬‭standard‬‭time,‬‭which‬‭Britain‬‭has‬
‭historically‬‭used.‬
‭ .‬‭Discuss‬‭the‬‭message‬‭conveyed‬‭by‬‭the‬‭Big‬‭Brother‬‭posters‬‭hanging‬‭in‬‭apartment‬‭buildings.‬‭How‬‭would‬
2
‭this‬‭message‬‭differ‬‭if‬‭the‬‭posters‬‭only‬‭hung‬‭in‬‭public‬‭places?‬
‭ .‬‭Examine‬‭the‬‭Party’s‬‭three‬‭slogans:‬‭“War‬‭is‬‭peace.‬‭Freedom‬‭is‬‭slavery.‬‭Ignorance‬‭is‬‭strength.”‬‭At‬‭this‬
3
‭point‬‭in‬‭the‬‭novel,‬‭what‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭they‬‭mean?‬
‭ .‬‭Analyze‬‭why‬‭Winston‬‭is‬‭not‬‭certain‬‭of‬‭the‬‭exact‬‭date‬‭and‬‭how‬‭a‬‭lack‬‭of‬‭time-keeping‬‭reinforces‬‭the‬
4
‭party’s‬‭manipulation‬‭of‬‭history.‬
‭ .‬‭Generalize‬‭what‬‭the‬‭film‬‭Winston‬‭watched‬‭says‬‭about‬‭the‬‭Party,‬‭how‬‭it‬‭controls‬‭the‬‭populace,‬‭and‬‭how‬
5
‭it‬‭views‬‭its‬‭citizens.‬
‭6.‬‭Summarize‬‭Winston’s‬‭feelings‬‭about‬‭O’Brien.‬
‭7.‬‭Contrast‬‭Winston’s‬‭opinion‬‭of‬‭O’Brien‬‭with‬‭Winston’s‬‭opinion‬‭of‬‭the‬‭dark-haired‬‭girl‬‭in‬‭his‬‭office.‬
‭8.‬‭Describe‬‭the‬‭Two‬‭Minutes‬‭Hate‬‭and‬‭its‬‭purpose.‬
‭7‬
‭ .‬‭What‬‭does‬‭Winston‬‭think‬‭he‬‭sees‬‭in‬‭O’Brien’s‬‭expression?‬‭How‬‭accurate‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭Winston’s‬
9
‭assessment‬‭is‬‭and‬‭why?‬
‭ 0.‬‭Infer‬‭why‬‭Winston‬‭frightens‬‭himself‬‭when‬‭writing,‬‭“Down‬‭with‬‭Big‬‭Brother,”‬‭in‬‭his‬‭diary‬‭and‬‭how‬‭he‬
1
‭could‬‭be‬‭guilty‬‭of‬‭thoughtcrime.‬

‭a‬‭day‬‭in‬‭their‬‭life,‬‭their‬‭inner‬‭thoughts,‬‭and‬‭their‬‭reactions‬‭to‬‭the‬‭society‬‭controlled‬‭by‬‭the‬‭Party.‬‭This‬
‭series‬‭of‬‭entries‬‭will‬‭not‬‭only‬‭allow‬‭you‬‭to‬‭explore‬‭the‬‭themes‬‭of‬‭"1984"‬‭through‬‭fresh‬‭eyes‬‭but‬‭also‬

‭Entry‬‭Themes:‬
‭ ach‬‭diary‬‭entry‬‭should‬‭touch‬‭on‬‭different‬‭aspects‬‭of‬‭life‬‭in‬‭"1984",‬‭such‬‭as‬‭the‬‭impact‬‭of‬‭constant‬
E
‭surveillance,‬‭the‬‭struggle‬‭for‬‭personal‬‭identity,‬‭the‬‭power‬‭of‬‭propaganda,‬‭or‬‭the‬‭nature‬‭of‬‭truth‬‭and‬‭reality.‬

‭Narrative‬‭Development:‬

A
‭Party‬‭and‬‭gradually‬‭become‬‭disillusioned,‬‭or‬‭maybe‬‭they‬‭plan‬‭a‬‭small‬‭act‬‭of‬‭rebellion.‬‭The‬‭progression‬
‭should‬‭reflect‬‭a‬‭change‬‭or‬‭growth‬‭in‬‭the‬‭character’s‬‭perspective.‬
‭Entry‬‭Details:‬
‭ ach‬‭entry‬‭should‬‭be‬‭a‬‭compact,‬‭one-paragraph‬‭,‬‭focusing‬‭on‬‭a‬‭specific‬‭event,‬‭thought,‬‭or‬‭conflict‬‭in‬‭your‬
E
‭character's‬‭life.‬‭Despite‬‭their‬‭brevity,‬‭entries‬‭should‬‭be‬‭dense‬‭with‬‭detail‬‭and‬‭emotion,‬‭offering‬‭a‬‭window‬
‭into‬‭your‬‭character's‬‭world.‬
‭Incorporating‬‭Orwellian‬‭Style:‬
‭ im‬‭to‬‭echo‬‭Orwell's‬‭writing‬‭style‬‭in‬‭your‬‭entries‬‭—‬‭the‬‭bleakness,‬‭the‬‭precision‬‭of‬‭language,‬‭and‬‭the‬

‭specific‬‭to‬‭the‬‭literary‬‭work.‬‭In‬‭1984,‬‭George‬‭Orwell‬‭uses‬‭several‬‭symbols‬‭to‬‭infuse‬‭a‬‭deeper‬‭meaning‬‭into‬

‭When‬‭describing‬‭Winston’s‬‭relationship‬‭with‬‭O’Brien‬‭in‬‭Part‬‭Three:‬‭Chapter‬‭Two,‬
‭Orwell‬‭frequently‬‭refers‬‭to‬‭the‬‭archetype‬‭of‬‭a‬‭Christian‬‭savior.‬‭On‬‭page‬‭244,‬‭O’Brien‬‭tells‬
‭Winston:Don’t‬‭worry,‬‭Winston;‬‭you‬‭are‬‭in‬‭my‬‭keeping.‬‭For‬‭seven‬‭years‬‭I‬‭have‬‭watched‬
‭over‬‭you.‬‭Now‬‭the‬‭turning‬‭point‬‭has‬‭come.‬‭I‬‭shall‬‭save‬‭you,‬‭I‬‭shall‬‭make‬‭you‬‭perfect‬

‭from‬‭it.”‬‭(p.‬‭250)”‬

‭watched‬‭you”-‬‭seven‬‭symbolizes‬‭spiritual‬‭perfection‬‭with‬‭7-day‬‭creation,‬‭seven‬‭is‬‭used‬‭throughout‬

‭Anti-hero:‬‭a‬‭study‬
‭ ll‬‭discussions‬‭of‬‭"tragedy"‬‭begin‬‭with‬‭the‬‭rules‬‭laid‬‭down‬‭by‬‭Aristotle‬‭for‬‭works‬‭of‬‭literature‬‭to‬‭be‬
A
‭presented‬‭on‬‭the‬‭stage.‬‭His‬‭definition‬‭is,‬‭"tragedy‬‭is‬‭in‬‭imitation‬‭of‬‭an‬‭action‬‭that‬‭is‬‭serious,‬‭complete,‬
‭and‬‭of‬‭a‬‭certain‬‭magnitude;‬‭in‬‭language,‬‭embellished‬‭with‬‭each‬‭kind‬‭of‬‭artistic‬‭ornaments;‬‭in‬‭the‬
‭form‬‭of‬‭action,‬‭not‬‭of‬‭narrative;‬‭through‬‭pity‬‭and‬‭fear‬‭affecting‬‭the‬‭proper‬‭purgation‬‭of‬‭these‬
‭emotions.”‬‭The‬‭final‬‭goal‬‭of‬‭tragedy‬‭is‬‭to‬‭instill‬‭in‬‭the‬‭audience‬‭both‬‭pity‬‭or‬‭fear‬‭(or‬‭both)‬‭in‬
‭sympathy‬‭with‬‭the‬‭characters‬‭in‬‭the‬‭story.‬‭It‬‭was‬‭Aristotle's‬‭theory‬‭that‬‭if‬‭the‬‭audience‬‭were‬‭subjected‬
‭to‬‭a‬‭representation‬‭of‬‭events‬‭that‬‭would‬‭create‬‭pity‬‭or‬‭fear,‬‭these‬‭emotions‬‭would‬‭be‬‭"purged"‬‭from‬
‭their‬‭own‬‭lives‬‭and‬‭their‬‭lives‬‭would‬‭be‬‭better‬‭for‬‭the‬‭experience.‬
I‭ n‬‭an‬‭Aristotelian‬‭in‬‭tragedy,‬‭there‬‭must‬‭be‬‭a‬‭"hero"‬‭or‬‭"protagonist."‬‭We‬‭will‬‭use‬‭the‬‭latter‬‭term‬
‭because‬‭of‬‭the‬‭unfortunate‬‭modern‬‭association‬‭of‬‭the‬‭word‬‭"hero"‬‭with‬‭"good‬‭guy."‬‭To‬‭Aristotle,‬‭it‬
‭was‬‭quite‬‭possible‬‭to‬‭have‬‭an‬‭evil‬‭protagonist,‬‭and‬‭there‬‭was‬‭no‬‭villain‬‭in‬‭the‬‭modern‬‭sense.‬‭It‬‭might‬
‭be‬‭the‬‭same‬‭person‬‭as‬‭the‬‭hero.‬‭The‬‭protagonist‬‭should‬‭be‬‭a‬‭very‬‭important‬‭person‬‭(a‬‭king,‬‭famous‬
‭soldier,‬‭etc.)‬‭at‬‭the‬‭full‬‭height‬‭of‬‭his‬‭power‬‭and‬‭strength.‬
‭ he‬‭protagonist‬‭must‬‭come‬‭into‬‭conflict‬‭with‬‭a‬‭force‬‭directly‬‭opposed‬‭to‬‭what‬‭he‬‭should‬‭want‬‭(with‬
T
‭the‬‭antagonist).‬‭He‬‭must‬‭struggle‬‭with‬‭that‬‭force,‬‭which‬‭might‬‭be‬‭Fate,‬‭or‬‭the‬‭gods,‬‭hostile‬‭human‬
‭forces‬‭or‬‭a‬‭fault‬‭in‬‭his‬‭character,‬‭and‬‭the‬‭outcome‬‭might‬‭be‬‭one‬‭of‬‭three‬‭things:‬
‭A)‬‭he‬‭might‬‭win‬
‭B)‬‭he‬‭might‬‭make‬‭a‬‭deal‬‭with‬‭the‬‭hostile‬‭forces‬‭and‬‭retain‬‭some‬‭of‬‭his‬‭power‬
‭ )‬‭he‬‭might‬‭die‬‭after‬‭having‬‭made‬‭a‬‭tremendous‬‭struggle‬‭against‬‭superhuman‬‭odds‬‭and‬‭having‬
C
‭changed‬‭the‬‭world‬‭in‬‭some‬‭way‬‭by‬‭his‬‭life.‬
(‭ A)‬‭and‬‭(B)‬‭are‬‭interesting‬‭and‬‭often‬‭instructive,‬‭according‬‭to‬‭Aristotle,‬‭but‬‭only‬‭(C)‬‭is‬‭the‬‭true‬‭stuff‬
‭of‬‭"tragedy."‬
‭48‬
‭ ristotle‬‭is‬‭modern‬‭in‬‭the‬‭sense‬‭that‬‭he‬‭believed‬‭in‬‭retribution‬‭and‬‭justice.‬‭He‬‭argued‬‭that‬‭there‬‭was‬‭a‬
A
‭universal‬‭justice‬‭that‬‭rewarded‬‭to‬‭the‬‭virtuous‬‭and‬‭punishes‬‭the‬‭guilty.‬
‭ ovels‬‭continue‬‭to‬‭frequently‬‭place‬‭a‬‭hero‬‭as‬‭the‬‭protagonist‬‭in‬‭a‬‭novel,‬‭but‬‭they‬‭will‬‭also‬
N
‭sometimes‬‭portray‬‭the‬‭hero‬‭as‬‭an‬‭anti-hero.‬‭This‬‭is‬‭evident‬‭also‬‭in1984,‬‭where‬‭Orwell‬
‭chooses‬‭to‬‭portray‬‭Winston‬‭as‬‭an‬‭anti-hero.‬‭While‬‭a‬‭hero‬‭frequently‬‭displays‬‭superior‬‭moral‬
‭qualities,‬‭an‬‭anti-hero‬‭seems‬‭morally‬‭flawed‬‭and‬‭occasionally‬‭unlikeable.‬‭Despite‬‭these‬
‭less-than-desirable‬‭aspects‬‭of‬‭his‬‭personality,‬‭the‬‭reader‬‭still‬‭wants‬‭Winston,‬‭the‬‭anti-hero,‬‭to‬
‭succeed‬‭and‬‭triumph‬‭over‬‭the‬‭Party.‬‭In‬‭1984‬‭this‬‭is‬‭largely‬‭because‬‭while‬‭the‬‭hero‬‭is‬‭an‬
‭average‬‭person‬‭the‬‭world‬‭around‬‭him‬‭is‬‭so‬‭dreadful‬‭his‬‭average‬‭ordinary‬‭qualities‬‭make‬‭him‬
‭a‬‭worthy‬‭hero‬‭nevertheless.‬‭In‬‭other‬‭words,‬‭in‬‭an‬‭evil‬‭world,‬‭the‬‭average‬‭level‬‭of‬‭moral‬
‭fortitude‬‭and‬‭strength‬‭takes‬‭on‬‭supernatural‬‭qualities.‬
