My Observation
"The Book 1984" and "Animal Farm" work together, "Animal Farm" is the tail of how the Totalitarian Dictatorship formed and "The Book 1984" describes what happens once it obtains total power.
"The Book 1984" is also a symbolic metaphor for the three aspects of Human Consciousness (and the destruction there of). The three aspects of Human Consciousness are "Thoughts", "Emotions", and "Actions". "As I think, so I feel, so I act". This is why this book is divided into three sections; one section focuses on "Emotion" (the sacred feminine), another section focuses on "Actions" (the divine child), and the final section focuses on "Thoughts" (the sacred masculine).
