“1984” a kind of antipodis of the second great anti -utopia of the 20th century – “On the marvelous new world” of Oldos Huxley. What, in essence, is worse: brought to the absurd “Society of Consumption” – or the “Society of Ideas” brought to the absolute? According to Orwell, there is no and cannot be nothing more terrible than the total lack of freedom … “The Cast Yard” of the parable, full of humor and sarcasm. Can a modest farm become a symbol of a totalitarian society? Of course, yes. But … how will his “citizens” be seen by this society – animals doomed to slaughter?
