The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also features glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.
CliffsNotes on 1984 introduces you to the modern world as imagined by George Orwell, a place where humans have no control over their own lives, where nearly every positive feeling is squelched, and where people live in misery, fear, and repression.

* Character analyses of major players
* A character map that graphically illustrates the relationships among the characters
* Critical essays
* A review section that tests your knowledge
* A Resource Center full of books, articles, films, and Internet sites
