How does George Orwells 1984 explore the representation of how the human experience are bound and defined by social and political worlds?

The
simple answer to your question is thatdoes this in almost every way. From the point of view ofin
regard to his own life to the behavior that he observes in others, the totalitarian regime of
Oceania infects almost every aspect of the human experience.

The chief
effect that ideological oppression can have on the human experience is the complete eradication
of unique and independent thought. The Inner Party is even complete with a "thought
police" that monitors for not only crime, but even intention of crime or anti-party
sentiment.

In comparable novels such as Fahrenheit
451,
this anti-intellectualism is perpetuated in the name of peace. This is quite
curiously not the case in . Violence abounds as Oceania is in a constant
state of war, and citizens are even encouraged daily to direct their hate at enemies of the
state in vocal and even physical displays of contempt. Indeed, the "two minutes' hate"
is probably the plainest example of how political worlds can affect the human experience.
Winston remarks that the most disturbing thing about the ritual is the absolute inability to
avoid it. People are filled with a violent and genuine rage that they themselves to not
completely understand. In a country like Oceania, human emotion is completely
manufactured.
