Meilleure citation de 1984年：監視社会が奪う思考の自由 | ジョージ・オーウェルの警告
自由とは、2足す2は4だと言える自由だ。当たり前の事実を当たり前だと言えること。それが許されない社会において、これこそが究極の自由の定義なんだ。

このタイトルには諸説ありますが、最も有名な説は、著者ジョージ・オーウェルがこの本を書き終えた1948年の末尾2桁をひっくり返して「1984」にしたというものです。もともとは『ヨーロッパ最後の人間』というタイトルになる予定でしたが、出版社の勧めで現在のタイトルになりました。
ニュースピークは、語彙を極限まで減らすことで人々の思考の幅を狭め、党に反抗するような思想自体を消し去ることを目的とした新しい公用語です。例えば「自由」という言葉から政治的な意味を奪い、単に物理的な状態のみを指すように限定することで、自由を求めるという概念そのものを人々の頭から排除しようとしています。
ウィンストンは日記の中で、「自由とは、2足す2は4だと言える自由だ」と記しています。これは、党が過去の記録を改竄し、客観的な事実さえも捻じ曲げて信じ込ませようとする社会において、当たり前の事実を当たり前だと主張できることこそが究極の自由であるという意味が込められています。
ウィンストンは「101号室」での拷問により、最も愛していたジュリアを裏切り、自分自身の尊厳を完全に破壊されてしまいます。最終的に彼は、党の洗脳に屈服し、かつては憎んでいた独裁者「ビッグ・ブラザー」を心から愛するようになって物語は幕を閉じます。
オーウェルは、特定の国を攻撃するためではなく、もし私たちが自由を当然のものだと思って戦うのをやめてしまえば、どのような民主主義国家であっても全体主義に陥る可能性があるという警告を発しました。個人を完全にコントロールしようとする不当な権力に対し、自分の感覚と思考を持ち続けることの重要性を説いています。
