Justice in 1984The concept of justice is an important subject in 1984 by George Orwell. Justice is defined according to Plato as “the interest of the strongest”. Justice plays an important role in the society of 1984. Justice is understood differently by the protagonists of the text and by the way it is represented by the societies in which they live. In Orwell's novel 1984, an extremely controlling totalitarian government called The Party rules society. They have introduced telescreens that monitor your every move, conversation and other action. The citizens of Oceania, located on Air Strip No. 1, are psychologically manipulated to believe in the party's three main slogans: "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" (1948 , Orwell). The citizens of Oceania are so brainwashed that they don't question everything the party tells them or any new laws they pass. Thoughtcrime occurs when someone does not fully agree and follow what the Party has said. People who commit crimes become non-persons; therefore, they cease to exist and all traces of their existence are erased or they may be sent to the Ministry of Truth, where the Party will attempt to break them and force them to love Big Brother. This is very relevant because to serve justice which they believe is everyone loving the Party and nothing else, everyone else must be eliminated or brainwashed. The use of technology in this novel is very important because it is the main means by which justice is served. Telescreens, microphones and cameras cover the entire nation. Every conversation is recorded and every action is taken into account. The government will do everything to maintain its power. Laws in Oceania are enforced to maintain order.

It is a personification, giving him a figure. of a monster. Justice is simply subjective and it is represented from different perspectives in the novel, it depends on the context of society and the willingness of the citizens of Oceania to bring their own justice against the laws established by the government in 1984 by Orwell. , it attempts to warn the public of what the world would be like if there was a totalitarian government. It portrays justice being served as something evil, because justice in this novel refers to respect for laws and not moral justice. G. (1949). 1984. (Vols. 3-6, p.. 67,343)..
