In 1984 by George Orwell, the government singles in on Winston Smith's life. They watch every step that Winston takes. They manipulate every move he makes. He is under a constant watch by the government. Even the people that enter Winston's life were put there by the government. Nothing that happened in Winston's life was made by his own moves. The government made them for him.
In The Truman Show, a movie with Jim Carrey, the government singles in on Truman's life. His life is literally shown on television. Every move that Truman makes is manipulated by the government. Even the people that are in Truman's life are put there by the government. Nothing happens in Truman's life that is his own. The government made his life for him. The government made his world.
Government. Such an interesting noun. It has so many different forms. It can control you, it can liberate you. It can help you, it can hinder you. In the worlds of 1984 and The Truman Show, the government believes that they are helping, but they are actually causing harm.
