The protagonist, Winston Smith, struggles against this oppressive system, seeking truth and personal freedom, but ultimately succumbs to the Party's relentless power. The novel is a chilling exploration of authoritarianism, manipulation, and the fragility of human autonomy.

Themes of resurrection, justice, and the brutality of social upheaval run throughout the story, culminating in Carton’s ultimate act of selflessness, symbolizing hope amid chaos and the enduring power of love.

The novel explores themes of class division, the impermanence of civilization, and the relentless passage of time.
