Through his novel, "1984," George Orwell found a way to warn society of the West that tyranny could slowly seep into their lives if the doors to freedom became unguarded. The irony of the essential components of  government, as portrayed in his novel 1984, are in opposition to what FDR proclaimed in his 1941 State of the Union speech addressed to Americans. Freedom, as FDR expressed, does not exist in a true totalitarian government. Orwell provides his reader with exceptional insight to an unacceptable life, which was established with the loss of freedoms. Orwell wanted people to realize that giving power over oneself to someone else, especially a government, would not secure a safer and more protected life. In 1984, Orwell presented his readers with evidence that these ideals will not be too far away from how many politicians would prefer government become. It is always amazing how ordinary individuals suddenly think they are more capable to take charge of others' lives whenever people elect them into a position of the government. Orwell's disillusionment came on the heels of Stalinism and Communism. Top officials lived better than the middle class, while the majority of the citizenry struggled every day to exist. The philosophy that everyone is equal and everyone is entitled to his or her fair share is quickly abandoned as power is attained. The Inner Circle, at the top of the Party's social pyramid, continued to sustain a luxurious, capitalist type lifestyle. Orwell gives the reader the starkest version of this realization within the pages of his novel, "1984." The world of "1984" places a spotlight on Oceania, one of three states that make up the world. Orwell's characters reside in a state riddled with mind reading, dilapidated areas, corruption, and total totalitarian government control. Big Brother is leader of the Party, which administers the government through four ministries. Orwell bases the ministries on the aforementioned FDR speech. The Ministry of Truth represents the "freedom of speech," the Ministry of Peace represents the freedom from fear, the Ministry of Love represents freedom of religion, and finally, the Ministry of Plenty represents the freedom from want. In the reality of 1984, however, the parody offered by Orwell is that the ministries are the opposite of what they represent; Plenty deals with starvation, Peace sanctions war, Truth propagandizes history, and Love applies disciplinary torture and reeducation. The ministries complement each other in their abilities to provide security for the Party and its totalitarian ideology. W
