Book: 1984
Author: George Orwell
Amount: Chapters 3-10
The basic storyline so far consists of a brainwashed man named Winston as one of the citizens of the dictator country ruled by this so called figure named "Big Brother". After another brainwashing day passes, Winston starts to experience love toward a woman he sees walking across the streets. However, according to the rules of dictator ship, love is not allowed. Only the worshipping of "Big Brother" is permitted. There are security cameras called "tele--".
I think the theme of this book is actually "impossible love". Winston and the woman can not love each other for official reasons, its against the rules. I'm starting to enjoy this book because it keeps the reader drawn into the book. I realize this conflict of dictatorship is still happening in the present communist nature. I wish that countries like North Korea would soon unite and not become like the setting of "1984".
