One good
thesis statement on the topic of rebellion in s novel might read something
like this:
In George s novel 1984,
rebellion against The Party is something the main character repeatedly longs for but never
witnesses or achieves. Any effort to rebel seems difficult if not impossible to accomplish, and
the book constantly shows how even any prospects of rebellion are forestalled.
Such a paper might trace references to rebel and rebellion
(and/or revolt and revolution) throughout the book, examining the ways in which rebellion is
continually mentioned but never achieved.
Such a paper might also examine the
different kinds of rebellion Orwell imagines, including private rebellion,
political rebellion, social rebellion, economic rebellion, and even sexual rebellion. Or the
paper might examine the different kinds of persons who are imagined as rebels, including , his
lover , children, The Brotherhood, and the proles, to mention just a few.
Part of theof rebellion in 1984 is effectively stated in the following
observation:
Until they become conscious they
will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become
conscious.
One aspect of 1984
that makes it such a highly effective book is that it offers no prospect of easy
answers or inevitable solutions.
