1984 by George Orwell What insight into humanity and human nature, if any, can be seen through this book, 1984?1984 examines a future under the rule of a totalitarian society. One of the unique notes of Orwell's 1984 is the views Orwell presents on humanity and human nature. Orwell presents humanity as divided into two parts: the dominant and the subjugated, with a few quickly eradicated anomalies in between. Human nature, however, is universal, and all humans have been shown to be, no matter how deep inside, willing to hurt others for their own gain. It's a horrible thought to think about, but it's true. We've all done it, whether we know it or not. Wilson believes that his morality is, in his opinion, flawed and is able to accept the Party's morality as a substitute. Much of 1984 is a reflection on human nature, on humanity and their tolerance of deception and human suffering. Wilson is made a reflection of humanity, making his very specific case just one of many proven by the existence of the Ministry of Love and their obviously long practiced and refined brainwashing methods. At the beginning, human nature is mostly seen through the theme of forbidden love and the strange and awkward relationship between Wilson and Julia. However, the rather crude physical description of Wilso... middle of the paper... humanist remained alive. He sees himself, tortured and starved, and his belief that the people will rise up against Big Brother fades, as he sees the last, in his mind, proponent of the theory as a broken wreck. Afterwards, he feels more comfortable and recovers somewhat, but his faith in humanity cannot recover, as he still sees the humanists as the damaged body that was in the mirror in front of him. The moral code of most societies prevents humans from expressing these elements of human nature, and when they are shown, as in 1984, the darker, more animalistic side of human nature seems all the worse.
