Say again?

You... you realize this is supposed to depict a dystopian society, right?

...?

Top KEK

it was written in 1948

honey, as a feminist i tell you: a) dystopian novel. b) seventy years ago.

It sounds like you have never bothered to look into a book and the time it is written. Honestly, your comment comes across more hateful and filled with ignorance than it does as an educated woman that wants to battle sexism. Pitiful really.

Even if it was written a long time ago it doesn’t excuse sexism. A reader is aloud to say if the sexist tones ruined the book for them. People can have opinions.

All of these comments are hilarious. I can pretty much guarantee that no matter when it was written it would always be disgusting to have a main character laughing about how he wants to rape and kill a woman wtf.

I take it you think the character and/or the author was a misogynist. I can understand why you would say that on the surface of the book, but by saying that you missed the entire point of the book. Hudson’s vulgar thoughts were not thoughts of his own. His thoughts towards Julia were another symbol of the brainwashed dystopian world he lived in. He only thought those things about her because he believed he should and has been brainwashed to think that way. If anything this book is the opposite of “misogynistic shit.� It shows how a corrupt, power hunger government (big brother) discriminates again woman. That a world that tries to controls us will always slut-shame, belittle, and discriminate woman.
Which brings us the point of the book, to recognize how government brainwashes us and the product of who we become during/after brainwashing.

uh how exactly?

It’s supposed to be disgusting. It’s supposed to show the deep hatred he had not really against her, but against Big Brother and the Party.

com todo respeito, mas se tá falando isso seu intelecto realmente não é capaz de compreender o ponto do livro vida

…h´Ç·É???

it was written literally 70 years ago

POV: you don’t know anything about a book you read

It‘s supposed to show the disgusting sides of the world and so are misogynistic man

The review was bait and I am EATING

I’ve never agreed with a review more in my life

this is so retarded

Thats the point.

...That's the point?? The people are under FASCIST rule. Nobody is treated well. The whole point of the book is how everybody is being oppressed.

Incels are madddddd. I do like everything else about the book so far, but you are so right, he’s a misogynistic ahole.

Keep reviewing colleen books
Thats the right writer for your intellectual level

MY WORDS!

What do you have against Colleen Coover?

Did you just randomly pick a book and wrote this comment? Did you even read the book? How is it misogynistic?

im so invested in these comments this is so funny

That's NO WHERE near the point of this book what?

I don’t see how this book is misogynistic. It’s a book about a fascist ruling. EVERYONE is manipulated and misreated. If you’d like to really read something misogynistic, read the wasp factory or catcher in the rye or something. Misogyny would be a valid complaint there. But im convinced you didn’t even read 1984.

Yess! In the first 20 pages and he wants to rape her because she supports anti-sex and he wants to have sex with her

Orwell was a socialist who after being in the Spanish Civil War with POUM, a marxist party, and seeing how those movements that he defended were very messed up, did a critic of it with for example “animal farm� or this book.

The misogyny that you are saying is all a way too show us how human minds get corromped when being under a totalitarian regime.

well actually he was rapist, racist and colonial cop. i used to really like his books when i first read them and also thought Orwell was a communist comrade, until i did the research. Just ask yourself why the make you read the book in school in the US :)

no offense but if you thought the main point of the story was about how winston wanted to have sex with julia then it's hopeless for you. like that phase lasted only 20 pages for a reason..it's like not the main focus at all and it's a STORY for a reason.

bro read the first 20 pages and called it a day

Wtf is this thread, read past the first 20 pages dude, maybe if you did you would understand the book more

Sooooo, you missed the whole point of the book then, huh....

Real

I agree. I had this book on my list for a while. I read animal farm and appreciated the concept of relating to society. This book- not for me. I DNF by choice because I choose not to spend my reading time on rape culture. There is a whole other concept to the book and I understand that. However, I am often disturbed by men depicting rape scenes of women as entertainment (writing, reading, movies). In storylines - the writer envisions what they are scribbling to paper. I find it problematic. It’s just not my thing. However- those that enjoyed 1984- that’s great for you.

Um� that’s kind of the point?

obsessed w the people trying to tell you its a dystopia of course smith has negative thoughts about women!!!!!! as if the misogyny didn't already start in the fact that the only female characters in this book are 1 his mother 2 his wife that he wants to kill 3 the stupid wife of the neighbour 4 the prole breeding machine spending all her days doing laundry and 5 the slut too stupid to REALLY understand rebellion that sells smith out immediately. like. those were choices orwell made and that were not necessary to "set the dystopia scene"

his DEAD mother, forgot to specify

I'm sorry 90% of your comments are misogynistic bulls@@t. I'm reading this book and i'm so disguted about the sexism. The book being old and a dystopian novel doesn't excuse the sexism....
Men are ready to insults you and find the most ridiculous reasons to excuse misogyny... "Oh but women who live in the 1900's and women in dystopian novels doesn't deserve respect. The book would'nt be interesting if women were respected and well written."
You are pathetic and misogynistic.

Y’all need to chill, people can have any opinions they want about literature, it’s literally one of the most subjective art forms ever. Chill.

The whole point of the book is everyone is supposed to be a loser? In a world that's so hopeless, do you expect there to heroic characters? Everyone is ugly, stupid and a horrible person. Even Winston. All the female characters in this book are horrible, because all the men are too. Winston is awful and so is Julia. They're awful because they are what the environment around them made them. I'm not saying you can't criticise the book, but you literally missed the whole point of it.

Pop off queen

Elaborate?

christy when she reads a dystopian novel made in the 1940 about the worst possible world to live in and there is ... uhm... murdr? no... slavery.. nah... hmmm, dictatorship, brainwash, hatred, war?? NAH!! its !!!!!! misogyny 😲😲

That’s kinda the point of the book? Everything towards everyone is hated. Ofc they’re gonna be misogynistic because that’s the world it’s built with. Hatred is how 1984 thrives as a whole.
