Orwell/nineteen eighty-four response

an issue that i really liked of 1984 by Goerge orwell was how the writer can make you feel the fear and the confusion that the main character Winston feels, this kind of govern, that is a mix of the east berlin and the totalitarism of Hitler, point on let people think that less they know better it is and they can do it by a program that works to drive people to a statement of  a sort of madness that let them think that their govern is saving their lifes also when they don't know it so it is their saviour and this way it becomes something about a god for the population.
The attracting part of winston is that he think something but he can't really connect it to his body because he is almost integrated in the system, this character have sometimes thought that could drive to a rebellion but he can't connect them to actual facts, but he can still have independent thoughts.
I read only the first part of the book but i have to say that already from the start you can feel that there's something really non-human going on and you start to get kind of involved in this kind of thoughts.
my conclusion is that people is giving to much importance to what the govern says that is right without thinking with his own head.
