Abstract
Orwell's 1984 is a sustained meditation on what it means to be 'human', especially in the mass societies of the future. Orwell links humane values, not to the privileged or the intelligentsia, but to the common people. This view of the human has its roots in Orwell's work from the beginning, but it reaches its final statement - albeit an ambiguous one - in his final novel, 1984.
