what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenager living in 2007?
I think the theme is BETRAYAL and dangers of totalitarianism. I heard that the book was written for the people to warn the dangers of totalitarian governments in Spain and Russia. Also when O'Brien betrays Winston, I seriously felt that betrayal is one of the important themes of the novel. Winston becomes weak mentally and physically by the torturing and betrayal of O'Brien. Also when Julie and Winston don't love each other any more, the both of them were almost betrayed by each other since they don't love any more. The teenagers have to believe in their faith. Also the teenagers in 2007 can't believe those who are just kind to them. And there are some teenagers who are calling the teenage-love as a real love and they don't try to seek the real love or a real person who will make them happy. The government in the book tries to control the citizens mentally and physically at the same time with the thoughtpolice and telescreen, but when Winston buys the diary illegally and writes the diary, I felt proud of him.

Isn't it strange how language takes a big role in controlling people? If you look at the language, people use terms such as "ungood" instead of "bad" or "terrible." Any vocabularies that would cause mutiny were erased, which gradually thinned the dictionary of that contry. Did you like the book?
I REALLY LIKE YOUR IDEA YAEJIN. TIFFANY YOUR POST IS VERY INTERESTING. How do you relate to Totalitarianism? Mrs.Mc.
