Justice in 1984The concept of justice is an important topic in 1984 by George Orwell. Justice is defined according to Plato as “the interest of the strongest”. Justice plays an important role in the society of 1984. Justice is understood differently by the protagonists of the text compared to how it is represented by the societies in which they live. In Orwell's novel 1984, an extremely controlling totalitarian government called The Party, rules society. They introduced telescreens that monitor your every movement, conversation and every other action. The citizens of Oceania, located on Air Strip One, are psychologically manipulated to believe in the party's three main slogans: "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" (1948, Orwell). The citizens of Oceania have been so brainwashed that they don't question anything the party tells them or any new laws they make. Thoughtcrime occurs when someone doesn't completely agree and doesn't follow what the Party has said. People who commit crimes become impersonal; therefore, they cease to exist and any trace of their existence is erased or they can be sent to the Ministry of Truth, where the Party will try to break them and force them to love Big Brother. This is very relevant because to serve justice, which according to them means everyone loves the Party and nothing else, everyone else must be eliminated or brainwashed. The use of technology in this novel is very important because it is the main way justice is exercised. Television screens, microphones and cameras cover the entire nation. Every conversation is recorded and every action is noted. The government will do everything to maintain power. Laws in Oceania are enforced to maintain order. A total...... middle of paper......ion among the audience because it makes him recognizable; “If the Party could reach into the past and say this or that, it would never happen: that would surely be more terrifying than mere torture and death” (1948, Orwell). This is a personification, giving him a figure of a monster. Justice is merely subjective and is represented with different perspectives in the novel, it depends on the context of the society and the willingness of the citizens of Oceania to do their own justice against the laws established by the government in 1984 by Orwell, tries to warn the public about what the world would be like if there was a totalitarian government. He describes justice as something bad, because justice in this novel refers to respect for laws and not moral justice. Works Cited Orwell, G. (1949). (Vol. 3-6, p. 67.343)..
