“Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen” (pg. 267). Comparing people to animals and treating them similarly are the ultimate goals of the Party. O’Brien describes the future of the world, a future where communism is as great as it can be. The idea of the government taking away one’s newborn child is frightening. Through his novel, Orwell warns the world of the dangers of communism; the leaders have whatever they need while everyone else suffers.
