ESSAY # 1
During Winston's stay in the Ministry of Love, O'brien asks Winston, "How does one man exert his power over another" to which Winston replies, "By making him suffer". Explain how The Party is able to maintain control and power over it's citizens (proles and party members alike) by making them suffer. Cite examples from the text to support your answer.
ESSAY # 2
Orwell wrote 1984 as a cautionary tale to warn future generations of the dangers that could be lurking in modern society. While Orwell's nightmarish vision of the future did not come true in in the year 1984, many still view the novel as vitally important to understanding the ways human being can be manipulated and brought under power by others. In your opinion, are Orwell's warnings still valid today? In which way/s and why or why not?
