The social criticism in george orwell'S 1984

goodthinker),.... (Orwell, 1961:211). 
Similar to the Person's character in the 1984 novel, he is very proud of his 
two children who are spies by the Party. 
―Did I ever tell you, old boy,‖ he said, chuckling round the stem of his pipe, 
―about the time when those two nippers of mine set fire to the old market-
woman‘s skirt because they saw her wrapping up sausages in a poster of 
B.B.? Sneaked up behind her and set fire to it with a box matches (Orwell, 
1961:62). 
But keen as mustard! That‘s firs-rate training they give them in in the Spies 
nowadays better than in my day, even. What d‘you think‘s the latest thing 
they‘ve served them with? Ear trumpets for listening through keyholes! My 
little girl bought one home the other night (Orwelll, 1961: 63). 
The real purposes of the Party don‘t not onlybreak the relationship between 
parents and their children, but also the relationship between women and men, 
there will be no trust in the family. All the delights are limited by the Party even 
to sexual pleasure in the limits; every family's life is reflected by the power of the 
Party.

We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, 
and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a 
friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. 
Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a 
hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual 
formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm 
(Orwell, 1961:267). 
The aim of the Party was not merely to prevent men and women from 
forming loyalties which it might it not be able to control. Its real, undeclared 
purpose was to remove all pleasure sexual act. Not love so much as 
eroticism was the enemy, inside marriage as well outside (Orwell, 1961:65). 
The family could not actually be abolished, and, indeed, people were 
encouraged to be fond of their children in almost the old-fashioned way. 
The children, on the other hand, were systematically turned against their 
parents and thought to spy on rheum and report their deviations. The family 
had become in effect an extension of the Thought Police. It was a device by 
means of which everyone could be surrounded night and day by informers 
who knew him intimately (Orwell, 1961:133). 
However, the Party is very concerned about the lives of the Party workers 
themselves, the party workers are not entrusted to shopping in the free market, 
even the marriage of Partyworkers is arranged by the Party and according to the 
Party's wishes. 
A Party member lives from birth to death under the eye of the Thought 
Police. Even when he is alone he can never be sure he is alone. Wherever he 
may be, asleep or awake, working or resting, in his bath or in bed, he can be 
inspected. Nothing that he does is indifferent (Orwell, 1961:210). 
His friendship, his relaxations, his behavior toward his wife and children, 
the expression of his face when he is alone, the words he mutters in sleep, 
even the characteristic movements of his body, are all jealously scrutinized. 
Not only any actual misdemeanor, but any eccentricity, however small, any 
change of habits, any nervous mannerism that could possibly be the 
symptom of an inner struggle, is certain to be detected. He has no freedom 
of choice in any direction whatever (Orwell, 1961:210-211).
