ABSTRACT
It is an established fact that George Orwell’s fictional works reveal his strong condemnation and hatred of poverty and oppression. His books present the best sociological reporting. Through his writings, Orwell has tried to bring about a social regeneration. That is why, he is highly esteemed for his ideas on freedom in the society. Although, he strongly advocated socialism, but he opposed vehemently the orthodoxies and bureaucratic socialism of his time. He saw society not from a distance but after becoming a part and parcel of it. After seeing the deplorable plight of the dregs of society, he inculcated a spirit of brotherhood in his life and started believing in freedom, justice, decency, equality and truth.
