Write about anything having to do with 1984, that you have not yet had the chance to address. You may also review the book if you wish.
One thing that really sparked my interest was when Winston was being tortured by O'Brien. He had to actually believe that the Party and Big Brother were good and the best thing ever. He could not just say it. He had to believe it. And that blew my mind. The fact that someone can be tortured physically enough to the point where they believe (and not just lie about it) that everything they knew before was wrong is now right... well, that is absolutely terrifying. It is also one of the things that makes George Orwell a genius.
