1984

Winston knows that they claim the ruler is a figure known as Big Brother. He is there to show power and scare the people into doing the right thing. The only thing is, Winston does not know if he actually is real or not. There is no written proof that shows whether or not Big Brother exists. I think Big Brother was made up so the people would have someone to idolize without actually seeing his real face. There is a face plastered all over Oceania that is supposed to represent him, but I believe the Party made it all up. It is only a name to hand power to, and it allows the people to feel safe under their leader, ensuring that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
