LANGUAGE AND STYLE
We are going to talk about the language and style used in 1984. We studied 3 different aspects of this; firstly we studied the language and style that Orwell wrote the book in; secondly at the language and style in which some of the characters at the different parts of society speak in; and to finish the language created for the book: Newspeak.
I. George Orwell / Narrator¡¯s Language and Style

Moreover, there are very few examples of ¡°poetical¡± writing, that is to say figurative language such as metaphors or similes, which means that Orwell¡¯s ideas are presented as universal truths.
We can presume that Orwell wrote like this in order to make the book more accessible to the public and thus to be able to impose his opinions on as many people as possible. Secondly, as the story is told from Winston's point of view, we could hypothesise that the language and style used is the kind used by Winston when he thinks and talks.
