Orwell implies that the power of the totalitarian government must be determined by the factors by which it is controlled. The governing body must create overall compliance without bringing any change within the citizens. Orwell implemented such rules in his novel to show the idea of an example of a “perfect” totalitarian society. Orwell satirizes the socialist societies that he mentions throughout the novel. David Goodman writes: “The satire, they say, is directed against the Soviet Union…” (4). Orwell was examining these societies to highlight the flaws that existed within them. The message associated with the novel was to show how such companies could have a huge negative impact on society. These messages conveyed to readers resulted in a dark tone due to the end of Winston's journey (243-245). Winston's journey was depressing as he had to put an end to all his ambitions. Orwell used Winston's depressing story to illustrate a dark tone to readers. He also used this tone to convey. Furthermore, the separation between Julia and Winston resembled the separation of their characters, which implied a provocative tone towards the character.
