1984: The Path to Dehumanization

1984 is a remarkable piece written by George Orwell on the corruption of society. Orwell's stances on human nature, and society are grim and foreboding. In this essay, McKinzie Davis examines the society of 1984 and shows that Orwell is trying to warn society. Through the Party’s psychological hierarchy and its effects, Orwell warns that a society that values leaders more than its citizens loses the most essential part of existence: humanity.
