If you’ve ever seen the so-bad-it’s-good reality show Big Brother, you should close this page right now and get back to watching, because guess what? You’re already familiar with George Orwell’s dystopian classic, 1984. Er, kind of. Dig deeper into the novel with Shmoop. We break down themes, symbols, characters, and more, all within a few clicks.
Since 2008, Shmoop has been a digital publishing company with a point of view. Our teaching method revolves around the basic idea that learning is often too hard—so we carry gallons of academic WD-40 to squirt on the tracks whenever we can.
We own 100% of our content and present both a consistent voice and a distinctive product offering. Our Learning Guides, Online Courses, College Readiness Prep, and Test Prep balance a teen-friendly, approachable style with academically rigorous materials to help students understand why they should care.
