What to say….
This book is a perfect example of power and corruption specifically during the Russian revolution. I think it does an amazing job at showing a totalitarian government as well as the role of propaganda. To fully appreciate the novel it is important to realize that the characters represent characters around the Russian revolution and communism itself. How even when trying to create a utopia and equal society with corrupt people in power it can lead to an unjust society. As well as how the working class are manipulated and hurt while believing “the leaders know best”. The book is disturbing because of how true it is. Orwell does an amazing job at revealing the injustices within society in a unique way. One of my favorites
