Therefore it is assumed that Big Brother’s downfall could not have happened because of a more powerful government took over, since all three nations are equal in power and cannot take over the other.

These characters show the alleged perfect world through the eyes of the authors. In 1984, Winston is continuously pointing out the impossibilities of the world as society sees it. At his job at the Ministry of Truth he creates lies in history in order to hide the governments lies, "Comrade Ogilvy, unimagined an hour ago, was now a fact. He would exist just as authentically as Charlemagne and Julius Caesar." (1984, 54) Eventually as the book progresses he is unable to hide the fact that he is aware of the governments lies.

There is no individuality or imagination. Everyone is expected to be the same. The lack of literature creates a society without intelligence.
