George Orwell's 1984 makes very effective use of the Overcoming the Monster plot style. Orwell is able to convey his concerns about the future through his portrayal of the party and Big Brother. He also makes excellent use of subplots to contribute to the overall idea of ​​the novel. The plots of Overcoming the Monster consist of a protagonist fighting an evil that threatens themselves or something they hold dear. Whether or not the protagonist succeeds is not essential to the type of plot. 1984 is an Overcome the Monster plot because its protagonist, Winston, fights against a great evil, in this case the Party, to protect the ideals he holds dear. By 1984, the party had already taken full control of all aspects of life, so it was no longer just threatening. Winston has lived under the party for some time, but still harbors doubts and even contrary thoughts. He vaguely remembers the situation before the party and realizes that things haven't always been the way they are. He thinks about ways to overthrow the party, but realizes how little he can do. When he joined what he believed to be a resistance movement, he was quickly arrested. During the time he was set on fire, Winston truly faced the Monster. If he can maintain his ideals despite everything the party does to him, he has defeated the monster, even if it seems insignificant. Winston's failure doesn't make the book any less of a plot to defeat the monster. Orwell made his point through the success of the monster. The Overcome the Monster plot type is ideal for telling any dystopian story. In 1984, Orwell created a world in which the Monster had already won. The protagonist and like-minded characters struggle to even conceive of the world... middle of paper ... monitored throughout. All the careful planning and discreet actions were for nothing. After the Ministry of Love, Julia and Winston can no longer feel the same way about each other. Winston's interactions with Carrington are also revealed to be lies. The nice old man who can remember a past without partying turns out to be a member of the thought police. O'Brien, the only person who understands Winston, tortures and assimilates him. The father figure, friend, and love interest all turn out to be false or corrupt relationships. Orwell's use of Overcoming the Monster in 1984 allowed him to demonize totalitarian government. He knew how to portray the party as indestructible, all-powerful and, above all, in bad taste. His choice of plot structure was essential. Defeating the monster fits well with his intentions to make totalitarianism a monster.
