1984 Irony
.... of a big brother is one whom is older and wiser and helps the "littler siblings" -- this not the case with 1984's Big Brother. The Big Brother in this novel completely watches over every move a person makes keeping them controlled with fear.

scientific words, constructed of only strict and rigid meanings. Individual
thought is completely impossible because the constricted vocabulary is intended
to include only principles of the Newspeak language. The vocabulary is
constructed so that words of unorthodox meaning such as “individual freedom”
are eliminated all together. Newspeak is designed to douse the flame of
thought and idea, while enco .....
