The book 1984 by George Orwell is about Winston Smith, who is 39 years old, lives a life were a person knows as Big Brother rules over Oceania and makes rules that everyone has to live by. Winston, who is tired of it, wants Big Brother and the Party that works with him taken down and Winston’s express himself and his thoughts in a diary he bought. The book also has many examples of irony and the examples are the dark haired woman and  The Ministries of the town.
In the book, the Party created different Ministries. Some of the Ministries were Ministry of Truth, Peace, Love, and Plenty. The Ministries are the opposite of what the title implies. In the Ministry of Love is more fear, torture, and suffering so the people of Oceania can love Big Brother. Ministry of Peace where it deals with war, Ministry of Truth where lies are created or changed, and Ministry of Plenty where it rations out food.
The dark haired lady who seems interested in Winston, is another example of irony. She appeared in Winston’s dream and she works in the Fiction Department. Winston also finds her suspicious and frighten of her but he is overcome by lust for the dark haired lady. Winston also wants to have sex with her but he also wants to kill her. Winston wants to do the opposite of what he says to the dark haired lady.
These are just some of the examples of irony that are found in 1984. The examples of irony really show how the world that Winston lives in is different from the world today.
