Totalitarianism

In a society governed by totalitarianism, the control over every aspect of life is pervasive and absolute. Language becomes a tool of oppression, as exemplified by Newspeak, which eradicates words that could express dissent or freedom.

Totalitarianism

To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.

NewSpeak

The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.

No Rebellion

This is the closure section of the story.
See examples of possible outcomes below:

There is no word that defines freedom in Newspeak, so they wouldn't even know how to express it anymore.

Try answering these questions to come up with a closure:
- Have all the problems been solved?
- Is there a clear picture of what happens with each character in the story?
- Has the challenge transformed your main character?
- How do the characters feel in the end?

Too simple

This is the moment when the main character surpasses the last obstacle and finally faces their greatest challenge.
The climax usually follows one of these patterns:


Type in your answer.

Many words will be compacted into one variation of a word, but it may completely erase certain words that are used in a casual or formal manner.

Control over all Aspects of Life

The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.

lower quality of life

There wouldn't be any tension and excitement in your story if there weren't any obstacles in your character's way.

Holding in all emotion, to only be released in 2 minutes hate once a day.
Feeling alone with no one to talk to or create a relationship with, because if you do that's a crime.
No Privacy

Each story has a main character and that character usually needs to solve a problem or challenge. The character's challenge is the one that creates tension throughout the story.

leads to people not being able to express themselves, or be themselves

In most stories, there are 3 challenges. The number 3 is a mystical number symbolizing completeness. Try to come up with interesting challenges with which your character needs to struggle.
See a few examples below:

No relationships.

No personality.

ThoughtCrime

In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.

Loss of Thought

The setting (time & place) of a story can change throughout the plot.

advancement requiring thought

Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. These details are important because they create depth in your setting.
See a few examples below:

Medicine would not advance to be more effective.

Technology would not advance.

fear of thought

Your story can take place wherever your imagination will take you to.
For example: in an elevator, in an enchanted forest, etc. Don't forget to give details of the environment each time the setting changes, otherwise, the story can be confusing. Also, mention the seasons as each of them has unique weather and events.

people become empty compared to who they used to be.

people do not think for themselves.
