Although he
writes a well-crafted novel full of allusions and with a , , who changes and grows due to his
love for , 's primary purpose in is didactic. This means Orwell wants to
educate his audience. He is trying to teach us how badly power can be abused if put in the wrong
hands. His is a cautionary tale, advising readers to safeguard how words and language are used,
to avoid a surveillance state, to support a free press, and to hold tightly onto democratic
norms. He is trying to make as clear as possible that the alternativea totalitarian
dictatorshipmeans misery for most people.
For this reason, Orwell includes
long passages from Goldstein's book in 1984. He wants the reader to know
from a source outside of Winston's incomplete, subjective consciousness what the aims of the
state of Oceania truly are. Orwell wants us to know that the misery and endless warfare in which
people in 1984 live are not necessary or accidental, but deliberately
manufactured...
