"Your brother is watching you." This line completely contains the amazing and unforgettable wonderful novel of 1984 written by George Orwell. "Big Brother" represents government that continues to control and monitor. In this book, George Orwell came up with a world in which the totalitarian government completely and completely controls their citizens. This is the world where the government constantly monitors the citizens through the TV screen, and the TV screen must always be kept open. In this world, children are taught to watch their parents to help the government. This is a very dark, desperate and hellish world without creativity and freedom. The government can not control the idea, behavior, actions of citizens and give accountability to the government.

An important aspect of the novel is "I saw my older brother". This fictitious "Big Brother" character was used as the government's face, even though they thought they were all alone, they were used to intimidate citizens to follow the doctrine of "Ingsoc". Residents are monitored at home, at work, and in all public places using monitors. These monitors are impossible to close and are seen as a sign of "thinking crime", a member of the community often opposed to the government.

In the novel, "Big Brother" exists as the face of a poster, and usually accompanies the word "Big Brother is watching you." We learned that Winston 's life is almost instantly monitored, whether it is the surrounding people or a full - blown television screen. Big Brother often directs enemies known as Emmanuel Goldstein in a speech on television. Goldstein is the author of the revolution declaration and is said to be the founder of Brotherhood, the revolutionary organization. Like Big Brother, the people of Winston and Oceania have never really seen Goldstein.
