In 1984, George Orwell creates a communist society in which the government has all the power over the people and continually exploits it in every aspect of their lives. Orwell has the government of 1984, the Party; use a few distinct methods to govern the masses that are largely effective. The methods mainly used are manipulating the naturally existing love and hate that people feel. Harnessing these emotions, people become filled with a sense of love and adoration for Big Brother, combined with fear of the enemy. This method is particularly successful in Oceania, the society of 1984, which is a broader metaphor to show the disadvantages of a totalitarian type government and how too much power in the hands of a few is a terrible consequence. The purpose of the government to maintain power and inequality, is mainly due to the fact that it creates a docile and malleable population, an almost free and continuous workforce and an impenetrable class structure that can promote their ideals that exclusively benefit them and their quest for absolute power. The systematic reasons for the government/Orwell's choices are demonstrated through the use of diction, imagery, detail, and language. The docile population that is continually encouraged by the government never questions its leadership. This further perpetuates the government doing what it wants while the people don't notice at all. Having a population so grossly unaware of what the Party is doing will further promote the blind adoration and love that people feel for Big Brother. Those very few who do not fall into the lemming herd fear the Party and the system too much to have a large-scale official rebellion.
