The quote "I know how but I don't know why" reflects George Orwell's motive for writing 1984, which is to show a society that is ruled by rigid totalitarianism and to present the objectives behind the governments originator and rulers. Throughout the book Orwell shows how the lives of the Outer Party and Proles are controlled from life till death. The main character Winston Smith is a member of the Outer Party which purpose in life …

…control implemented into the society. For instance the rewriting of language so there isn't words to describe thoughts of unhappiness with Big Brother. It is a government that at one point decided to make changes, to shape their power and wealth to be everlasting. 1984 is the expression of a mood, and it is a warning. The central theme of 1984 and furthermore why George Orwell wrote it is, if we don't watch out 1984 will find us.
