The Party is an ominously vague entity with an ominously vague mascot: Big Brother. The ruling party in Oceania is English Socialism, sometimes known as Ingsoc, more commonly known as The Party. 1984 takes place on those Isles, now referred to as “Airstrip One.” Actually, “Oceania” is a little too broad, seeing as the superstate encompasses the continents formerly known as the Americas, Australia, parts of Africa, and the British Isles. Our story unfolds on a cold April day in 1984 (what a surprise) in Oceania, the totalitarian superpower in post World War II Europe. Where in the world does 1984 begin? We’re glad you asked because the world in 1984 looks pretty different from ours. Need a synopsis of George Orwell's 1984? Don't worry, our 1984 summary explains the plot of this literary classic along with important themes and characters.
