  Abstract:George Orwell’s political satire Nineteen Eighty-Four has been regarded as one of the most influential literary works in the twentieth century and it mainly embodies totalitarianism. The reason why totalitarianism comes out is that Orwell left London for Spanish to participate in the Spanish Civil and he witnessed the Spanish Republican Government which made him disllusioned about the future of Communism.He worshipped Marxist in 1936. However, Stalinists started to hunt down Anarchists, and            Orwell had to escape with his wife from the chaos. The war made him understand the difficult situation of the Socialisist Movement. On the other hand, in 1939, German invaded Poland and Soviet Union’s policies were bleak. Orwell became even more concerned with the totalitarianist problem. The embodiment of totalitarianism in Nineteen Eighty-Four is as follow: Firstly, the Party makes full use of “thought police” and other means to contral people’s freedom and deprive them of what they deserve. Secondly, the Communist Party maintains inequality by maintaining the class distinction .Thirdly, “thought police” and the spying equipment such as “telescreen” is to interfer people’s private lives, for example, the Communist Party tries its best to prevent Winston and Julia from being in love and stop son-mother relationship.The purpose for the embodiment of totalitarianism is to warn the coming totalitarian rather than to predict and it is Orwell’s work Nineteen Eighty-Four that sharpens the reader’s eyes so that they can see these dangers.

  内容摘要:乔治.奥威尔的政治讽刺小说《一九八四》被认为是二十世纪最有影响的文学作品之一。这部小说主要体现的是极权主义思想。极权主义思想之所以在这部小说中得到体现是因为奥威尔亲自参加过西班牙内战,亲眼见到了西班牙共和国的统治,逐步破灭了他对共产主义未来的幻想;另一方面,1936他崇拜马克思主义,但那些斯大林主义者排除异己,奥威尔和他的妻子不得不逃避这场灾难。这场战争使奥威尔意识到社会主义形式的艰难。另一方面,1939年,德国法西斯入侵波兰,苏联的 政治一片黑暗。这些使奥威尔更加关注极权主义问题。极权主义在《一九八四》主要体现在如下几个方面:第一,党充分利用思想警察和其他手段来其他手段来控制人们的自由,剥夺本属于他们的权利;第二,党维持等级差异来维护不平等;第三,思想警察和间谍工具如电视屏幕来干涉人们的私生活,列如,党尽力阻止温斯顿和朱丽的爱情以及温斯顿和他母亲之间的母子情。奥威尔之所以在《一九八四》中体现极权主义是因为他要向世人警告即将到来的极权统治而不是预测。是奥威尔的《一九八四》使读者檫亮眼睛来看清楚所存在的危险。

Introduction

As Orwell's masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four is often termed as the most famous anti-utopian novel in the twentieth century. Published in 1949, the novel was an instant success like Orwell's other famous political fable Animal Farm, for it reveals a serious social problem of that time-he threat of imminent Totalitarianism.

In this anti-utopian novel, Orwell did achieve two major aims: one was to attack the evil of despotism and totalitarianism; the other was to enlighten people's political consciousness. The greatness of Nineteen Eighty-Four lies in the fact that it reminds people of the importance of politics, and it everyone to his or her part in society. As a result it makes us think about what we for granted in our we are responsible not only for our own fate but also for the daily life, be aware fate of the world.

Labeled as one of the three most important "anti-utopian" novels of the twentieth century (the other two are Zamiatin's We and Aldus Huxley's The Brave New World), Nineteen Eighty-Four describes the most horrible future. People tend to ignore the literary achievements in the book due to its strong and stressed political tone and plain language However, in Nineteen Eighty-Four Orwell illustrates the subtle change of the protagonist Winston's mentality.
