Also, depicts a world in which people have been robbed of their humanity and reduced to nothing more than cogs in a massive and oppressive system usingcolorfuland frequently scary images. Although Orwell's worldview was grim, thewritings have still encouraged numerous people to think critically about the world and try to create more just and equitable societies. All the works are an essential contribution to current discourses of social justice and political activity because of thefocus on the value of individual agency and resistance in the face of injustice, which continues to connect with audiences today.
