I think the appendix, even more than the novel itself, addresses the left’s obsession with control of language and thought.
Closing sentence:
<>A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”<>
Yeah. For those that don’t have time (though people really should take the time) to read the entire book, it is well worth reading the appendix.
Orwell also wrote several non-fiction essays touching upon the same topic.
