I don’t really know how to write this one as I am not really one of those who report on books.
Just wanna say to y’all who didn’t read the book you should really go get it. It tells the story of a very dark world, where each uniqueness of our world is exaggerated and shaded, where all is inspected, monitored and controlled by a central authority. a centralized world, where nothing is beautiful but one thing - the common truth. How does living in a world like this feels? How far fetched is this world from ours? What is the nature of truth, and freedom?
These are my thoughts. hope that’s working for you.
A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walks into a bar. The bartender asks; “How’s the new book coming along Mr. Orwell?
Is this because of the animation movie with the farm animals and your beloved leader bring depicted as a fat pig?
But that’s four people…
Was that supposed to be some sort of joke or do you actually not know Orwell himself was: a rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist? One man, four horrible qualities.
Believe it or not, it’s entirely possible to separate the artist from the art. Shocker, I know.
Whatever it is you think about him really doesn’t matter.
I can’t agree with that anymore. Art is inherently human, it’s inherently individual. The person or people who make it put a piece of themselves into it. It’s not possible to separate the art from the artist, and their human ideas, actions, motivations, and class.
In this case, Orwell wrote from a very personal perspective, so his works are intrinsically linked to his deeds and ideology as a human.
