“No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky.” This quote by Bob Dylan, relates strongly with George Orwell’s novel 1984. Winston Smith, the main character, in 1984, tells the novel through third person limited point of view. The story begins with Winston Smith describing his constant surveillance by BIG BROTHER and throughout the novel the reader witnesses Winston’s struggles against the government that controls the ideas and thoughts of its citizens. As the reader comes to understand through Winston’s eyes, the dangers of totalitarianism, George Orwell conveys the theme that “freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows” (81).
