The “Faith”Maid’s Tale A chair, a table, a lamp. A country, a regime that recognizes the male gender only, a handmaid.

Orwell’s most obvious warning message from 1984 is to beware fascist, communist, or totalitarian regimes for the sake of the people that would be controlled by it. Throughout the first two parts and most of the third part of the story, Winston finds himself explaining his hatred for The Party and Big Brother by explaining just how much power and control they have over the people, saying “If all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie…
