Control of thought from "summary" of Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell

The Party's ultimate goal is to control every aspect of its citizens' lives, including their thoughts. Through manipulation, propaganda, and censorship, the Party exercises complete authority over what people think and believe. By altering historical records and controlling the flow of information, the Party ensures that its version of reality is the only one that exists. This control of thought extends to language itself, with the Party actively seeking to limit and shape the ways in which people can express themselves. By restricting language and manipulating information, the Party effectively limits the range of ideas that people can conceive of and express. This control of thought is essential to maintaining the Party's power, as any dissenting or independent thought could potentially lead to rebellion or resistance. By controlling what people think, the Party ensures that its rule remains unchallenged and uncontested. In "Animal Farm," the pigs use propaganda and manipulation to control the other animals' thoughts and beliefs. By altering the commandments and rewriting history, the pigs are able to maintain their position of power and authority. Through fear and intimidation, they ensure that the other animals remain compliant and obedient to their rule. Similarly, in "1984," the Party uses surveillance, propaganda, and censorship to control every aspect of its citizens' lives, including their thoughts. By constantly monitoring and surveilling its citizens, the Party is able to root out any potential dissent and ensure that only its version of reality is accepted. Through the manipulation of information and language, the Party ensures that any thoughts or beliefs that challenge its authority are swiftly eradicated.
  1. The concept of control of thought is central to both "Animal Farm" and "1984," as it demonstrates the extent to which those in power will go to maintain their authority. By controlling what people think and believe, the Party ensures that its rule remains unchallenged and uncontested, thereby solidifying its power and control over the masses.
