In my opinion, North Korea resembles the situations in the novel in several ways. First of all, citizens in North Korea are forced to ‘love’ and ‘admire’ Jung-Ill Kim, just as people in the novel are told to do so for Big Brother. In addition, after being brainwashed for years, most North Koreans dim their country as a paradise, like people in the novel think so.
It seems that the fact that Winston, the main character in the novel, being brainwashed and sentenced to death tells readers that the novel doesn’t have any clear solutions for such situations to be resolved. However, from a different point of view, I can say that the novel does shed lights for a way out, as it shows Winston struggling to attain freedom in such suppressing society, because his actions symbolizes that no society can oppress the universal human desire for liberty completely. In other words, the novel tells the readers that if all people fight against the society like once Winston did, things will go as they wished. Numerous historical events that people overthrowing their repressing societies can support such idea: the French Revolution, American Revolution and so on.
