Orwell indeed presents a dystopian society, which could be related directly to the communist regime, which used to reign throughout the USSR. I have also read the book and saw exactly what you saw – the inevitable degradation of a person, trying to escape from the chains of totalitarianism. 1984 is a concealed criticism, a warning message towards societies. Winston Smith is actually the collective image of all repressed by the regime people. If you are really interested in this topic, I recommend to you another Orwell’s book – Animal Farm, which is an altogether humoristic and metaphorical novel, once again satirizing the distorted “utopian” ideas of communism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
