for several years, modern society and politics do represent the inequality as the
global in many terms. As you can see, it is not utopia, as many countries said that the systems,
those run their countries are working for the utopia. But actually, it is perfectly far away from
that word. Also, George Orwell had expressed his idea in his writings. Since then, G.O.'s
writing still influences modern society and politics.
According to Russian revolution of 1917, shows that Modern world politics
represent the communist and inequality. Russian revolution, Czar, the king of Russian's power
and declined. Before the Russian revolution has begun, Russia country was ruled by the
monarch, named Czar'. there was the separation of social classes. therefore, workers and
peasant were threatened like animals by their king; they were lack of food and resources. Also,
they were forced to fight in world war I for Russia. That's the first start of a revolution. All
workers and peasant form a group the fought against their king. Vladimir Lenin is the leader
of this revolution, and, Bolshevik, is a group of Soviet people, they worked together and form
this party. So, This revolution happens after his power declined. There were a group of people
in charge of this system.This is the communist party based on socialism. This system based on
equality', everyone might share resources and get the same things. But it turned out in the
opposite way, Joseph Statin comes into the power of Russian after Russian revolution 1917.
Although, Russian is the first country that created communist. This event is an influent of
Orwell to write Animal farm.
Here it comes through the most popular story of Orwell, Animal Farm. The story
is based on the communism that occurs in modern society. Animal farm is the literature written
by George Orwell. The story begins with Jones' farm is poor because Mr. and Mrs. Jones
neglect all them animals. Although, they're lack of food, and become ill. Therefore, the animals
are formed together and get rid of Humans, which are Mr. and Mrs.Jones. Animals in the farm
have the rule set for living together to make them all equal. These rules are like the humans'
rules for living together in the society; they create the equality between the society and get rid
of bad people. So, there are 7 commandments, according to the Orwell's Animal farm:
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy, Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a
friend ,No animal shall wear clothes, No animal shall sleep in a bed, No animal shall drink
alcohol, No animal shall kill any other animal, All animals are equal.
Although everything seems to be good at the beginninguntil a group of pigs starts
to be in charge and control others animals. They start to change their gesture. This part of
Animal Farm wakes the conscience of the readers up, to notice something went wrong in the
story. According to Orwell's Animal Farm, the pigs start to wear Mr.Jones and Mrs.Jones'
clothes, despite the rules been changed that the pig can wear clothes. Also, the pigs begin to
walk on 2 legs, which means four legs animals are bad. Some animals don't accept the change
of the commandments. As they against the pigs that all animals need to be equal, So the last
rule All animals are equal but some animals are equal than others,' (Orwell'sAnimal Farm).
This literature, all the characters, animals, are the symbolism for different types of people in
the modern society today. Especially the pigs, they are the symbol for the leader of communist
politics in humans society nowadays; like it can be seen in the story that the pigs began to take
control of all animals in the farm.
Not the only historical event that influences Orwell to express his feelings about
modern politics and society, But still his own experiences and mindset. That's why it can be
said that Orwell's biography influences him to express the ideas about modern politics and
society in his writing. In his childhood, Orwell father was a British civil servant and stationed
in India, when Orwell was a young child. So, His mother bought him and his older sister to
England. Orwell's father rarely visited their family, and that makes their connection in the
family goes weak. Until his father retired from the job in 1912, it's when he started to know his
father. Orwell's father is dull and conservative, according to the background job that he had
done. Just like other British boys, Orwell been sent aboard to St.Cyprian's in the coastal town
of Eastbourne. He got the partial scholarship
Nonetheless, In his high school life, he found out that this school treats the richer
people better than the poorer. That's the first beginning point that he found about inequality in
the society. Despite, it creates background mindset about major political during this time.
Although, As he wasn't from the rich family; he wasn't popular among the other students in the
school. He spent times on reading the literature of Rudyard Kipling and H. G. Wells, who wrote
the literature about Imperailism', and won the Nobel prize in World war I. It creates the strong
connection bonds between his mindsets those he had for the society during that time and
explore his ideas, while he was reading.
Despite His family didn't have enough money for university education, so he had
joined the imperial police force in Burma (1922). He had collected many experiences in the
Burma prison, he found many inequalities between guardians and prisoner. A Hanging'
Orwell (1931), been published in Great Britain, London. This story was written to explore the
point of view of Orwell in first narrative person. The irony is being used in this story, to
compare the differences between the guards and prisoners, and also to point to what is wrong
in the story. For examples, how they dress in different ways, the way they look and their
different gestures. Nonetheless, the army doctor in this story is being involved of killing
prisoners, instead of saving their lifelike doctor's job. Although this short story just explores
the theme of human rights, those prisoners won't get. So, G.O's writing still influences modern
society and politics.
As those pieces, Orwell had published had many different sources of influences
his own experiences, and all others. They explore the theme of communist in the society, which
is now. Many factors from communist: inequality, human rights, corruption. They all were
mention in Orwell's writing pieces, both indirect way and direct way: (Animal farm, 1944), (A
Hanging, 1931). According to Animal Farm, the farm is symbolism of the society, and also the
animals are symbolisms for humans; those who live in society. So, the story has been told an
indirect way to express the modern society now; the quality of the farm depends on the leader,
just like the human society nowadays. A Hanging, it been expressed by Orwell's sight and his
own experiences, while he was working as a police in the jail. The irony was used in this story,
to make the reader see the failures those happened in the storyInequality between humans.
G.O.'s writing still influences modern society and politics. Communism and Inequality in
modern society and politics still continue happening wisely, around the world.
