CHAPTER V 
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS 
 
This chapter presents the conclusions, suggestions and the summary of the 
findings that are discussedin the previous chapter. 
5.1 Conclusion 
As a social critic novel, Nineteen Eighty Four presents some of the social 
facts that often encounter in everyday life. George Orwell describes the societal 
disparities that occured with the background of life of the Oceania community in 
London. In Orwell's 1984 novel spill disagreement with government systems such 
as the German Nazi and Russian Communist which are a bit more totalitarian. By 
noting the narrative of the 1984 novel, the equation of social structure of society 
in each country is illustrated.
The writer believes in any country, the class is divided into three classes: 
high class, middle class and low class. The upper classes are the Party (which 
runs the government), the middle class (the Party assistant apparatus in running 
the government), and then last the lower classes (proletaries or unskilled workers 
outside the government). Thus, the social gap is clearly different between the 
three classes of society.
Afteranalyzing this novel by measuring the focus on the Party government 
system, the writer conclude that the system of government that Orwell attempted 
to describe in this novel is a totalitarian system of government, in which the 
ultimate power is in the hands of the Party and the extermination of freedom for 
society and individuals. All interests are Party's interests, all goals are the goals of

the Party and all truth is the Party. In the explanatory chapter illustrated clearly 
how the Oceania people are subject to the rule of the Party, dissident individuals 
are tried in accordance with the Party's rules and forcibly participate in the rule 
circle of the Party Government.
