In 1946, he lived with her youngest sister, his eldest brother died in that 
year as well. Misfortunes left by the mother, his wife and her sister were the 
heaviest blow to Orwell. Health body plummeted, his Tuberculosis disease relapse 
in 1947. However, he amid the pain of suffering, he uses his time to write novel 
1984. That novel became his famous novels, it was phenomenal and retranslate to 
some languages other than Animal Farm.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the decline, eventually the novel Animal Farm success stems, so 
that the burden of its economy. In September 1949 Orwell hospitalized in London. 
In there, he met Sonia Brownell and married in October. After getting married, it 
may not necessarily be made Orwelll improved from the pain. Until around month 
Jauary 1950 Eric Arthur Bliar or George Orwell died. (Nadaek, 1984: 38-39) 
As a literary critic, Orwell poured his critic accordance with a feeling of 
pity at once furious to England when he returned from abroad. In his work The 
Road to Wigan Pier, Orwell acted opposite to the system and ideology of the 
England at the time. As for the quote The Road to Wigan Pier said "I feel the need 
to escape not only from imperialism, but from every form of human mastery over 
man. I wanted to drown myself, infiltrate deep into the oppressed are juxtaposed, 
being one of them, in people who fight against tyrants ... ""They're the symbol of 
the victims of injustice, the same role it plays in England as well as the people of 
Burma played their role in Burma". 
The quote above, showed deep concern Orwell to the lower classes for the 
first time in his work. At that time, Orwell did a few meetings with the social

snarled that arise in Orwell himself makes him want to participate in the struggle 
with the Proles in England. Orwell refered to the Socialist thought, but in addition, 
in the novel 1984 he wrote, he describes that the people who create the gods 
always watch every their action to destroy all negative thoughts those who are not 
in line with the party. 
Orwell considers that the State of the community the year 1984 was 
tantamount to the year 1948, it was reflected clearly in his novel about the State of 
the past before totalitarian, there were Nazi Germany, Russian Communist, and 
China. The influence of three of those systems were not much different with a 
totalitarian seems the stifling class workers' community (Proleter). The 1984 
novel not only reflects on what will happen in the 1984, but it was instead 
learning that the old human will disappear, the existence of the establishment by 
the rulers. If human not immediately realized it would actually happen in the 
middle of the power of the tyrant. (Nadaek, 1984: 40)
