the chilling power of language in 1984

In 1984, Orwell reveals how language shapes reality — through Newspeak, the Party strips words of complexity to limit thought itself. This linguistic control is terrifying: it’s not just what we say, but what we are allowed to think. Reading this, I can’t help but reflect on how our own language and narratives are shaped by media and power. When meaning becomes narrow, freedom slips away quietly. Orwell’s insight warns us that guarding our words and thoughts is essential to resist control — because once language is censored, so is the mind. #Entertainment #Books #ModernClassics #GeorgeOrwell #1984
