    Orwell's novel 1984 presents a dystopian vision of a society where human rights have been taken away and citizens are constantly monitored by authorities. In this society, Winston and other characters have lost all privacy and control over their own lives. They are watched even in their own homes by video cameras and speakers. The loss of privacy and control has negative mental effects on Winston and makes him feel powerless. Throughout the novel, Orwell warns his audience about the importance of privacy and control, and the dangers that occur when a government strips away these rights from its people.
