Resumo de 1984 - ORWELL;GEORGE

I imagine that there won't be a reader who does not know of theexistence of a tv show , of great popularity and lidership in its hour range, emision day and genre, called, for more details, Big Brother; the one in which several contestants, like human coberries, live together under the same roof and in which, sooner or later, their lower and primary instincts resurge. But i'm not going to insist on the quality and /or the ending of the said contest, because, as it is usually said, about tastes there is nothing written; plus this is a web where books are commented, reason why i'm going to reach one of the sources or, better said, the main source in which the origin of the contest is inspired, and it is nothing more than the book 1984 by George Orwell. Written in the '50, the author creates a story in which it is predicted a not so flattering future, where there is no speech freedom, nor thought freedom, nor feeling freedom... a world, at last, controlled by a minority that manteins the rest of the human beings in a dictatorial and repressive regimein the limits that, as i 've said before, lead to the anullment and physocal castration of the individual. Everything is controlled by a figure, a symbol called the Big Brother, who through several screens set in each corner controls every move or word that suposes a cuestionation of the established regime.
But there will be a couple of characters, the resistence, to called them in some way, that realise the absurd and surreal situation, beacuse as innate instinctsto our human and racional condition, who can avoid the most basic insticts, like caring for others, or the healthy and natural capacity of discerniment and thought that we posess?
The most brutal thing of the book's argument is that to the human being of the already distant year 1984 is deprived, in addition, of a past, of a history, the regime manipulating him to its will; the brainwash is such that the individual is only inculcated with feelings of hatred towards whoever who is in his way and endangers the status quo,and even to evaporate or erase of the map who dares to skip the rules. The analysis that the author makes of a future society is scalofriating, set in the time which the book was written, in years that have passed already and that, thank god, it wasn't as cathastrophic as the book describes. Although i'm not very sure that it is not starting to be developed, nowadays, a society where the uniformity of thought and level of donkeyness and/or stupidity is the most characteristic, in which questioning things and think a little, supposes a lot of effort and we settle with what they want to offer us.
Of us it deends that we don't reach those limits, standing up, first of all, for our freedom to decide what we want to think, criticize, feel and live, and learning everything we can, and that we don't have to get to the lapidary and significative phrase that appears in the book: the Ignorance is the Force.
