Prisoned Mind In 1984 By George Orwell
Prisoned Mind
Throughout history, leaders such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin have used propaganda as a means of gaining power. Similarly, In 1984, George Orwell creates the character Big Brother as a leader who already has power over his people, but needs a way to preserve. By causing distrust in the community through the use of thought manipulation and telescreens, Big Brother is able to establish totalitarian rule over the people.
The thought police is responsible for causing disunity in the community and this allows it to be easily controlled. When Winston goes to Mr.Charrington's shop for the first time, he is surprised to see no telescreen. The old man tells him that he has “never had one of those things. Too expensive.’” (Orwell
