    1984 is a dystopian novel by George Orwell that depicts a totalitarian society ruled by the Party and its leader, Big Brother. The novel follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the Party who works in the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to suit the Party’s propaganda. Winston secretly rebels against the Party by keeping a diary, having a forbidden love affair with Julia, and joining the Brotherhood, a resistance group. However, he is eventually betrayed by O’Brien, a Party official who pretends to be a member of the Brotherhood, and is tortured and brainwashed into loving Big Brother. The novel ends with Winston’s complete submission to the Party and its ideology.
