Why Orwell's 1984 Still Hurts To Read?
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength" (George Orwell) For once in everyone’s life, we have questioned or tried to relearn the meaning of everything we are taught about. The meaning of love, reality, freedom, friendship, free will, and sometimes going beyond all of that, you tried to rediscover your own self too. Most of this happens when you are faced with different outcomes or circumstances than what you have been taught. For example, you have learned your whole life that doing hard work will lead to success, but it seems to be totally opposite in your case. The harder you try to get something, the deeper the well you fall into, and the questioning phase starts.

The Giant in World Literature
Nietzsche’s proclamation that “God is dead, and we have killed him” is more than a mere rejection of religious belief—it signals the collapse of a transcendent moral order that once governed human thought and behaviour. This existential void, created by the decline of religious meta-narratives, has given rise to a moral vacuum in which individuals are now burdened with the task of generating meaning from nothing or a vague term of "humanity" but then, according to a French philosopher, Proudhon in “The Concept of the Political” he writes that “Whoever invokes humanity, wants to cheat”. Without the scaffolding of divine commandments or universal moral truths, the individual becomes the architect of their own ethical framework—what Nietzsche calls the "Übermensch," the one who transcends herd morality and redefines values in the wake of divine absence. In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov embodies an existential crisis in a world devoid of metaphysical grounding. A destitute law student torn between utilitarian logic and a fragmented conscience, he rationalises the murder of the pawnbroker, whom he perceives as a parasitic figure, as an act of liberation—a step towards transcending conventional morality. This act is more than a crime; it is a philosophical wager, an attempt to become Nietzsche’s Übermensch, one who creates value in the absence of God. However, the aftermath exposes the chasm between abstract reason and lived moral reality. His guilt, more than psychological, is metaphysical—the murder does not elevate him; it dismantles him. Dostoevsky, sceptical of cold rationalism and deeply influenced by Orthodox Christianity, shows that the human soul cannot endure the weight of godhood. Raskolnikov doesn’t destroy old morality to forge a new one; he merely awakens to the moral law still etched in his being. As Dostoevsky writes in The Idiot, “men hate nothing more than being called ordinary,” and Raskolnikov’s delusion of being extraordinary collapses under the burden of conscience. His rationalisations crumble; the money he hides remains untouched, buried not only in the earth but in the muddy depths of his fractured self. In the end, he is not beyond good and evil—only tragically human. Ultimately, Raskolnikov's arc illustrates that when individuals attempt to replace divine moral authority with their own, they risk a descent not into godhood, but into alienation. In trying to transcend the moral order, he becomes ensnared in it. His journey is not one of liberation, but of return—through suffering and confession, he must confront the terrifying, yet redemptive, reality of human fallibil

Strange Sally Diamond. Top Story - June 2025.
I picked up this book at the B&N’s Blind Date With a Book display. I loved the entire concept of selecting a mystery book based on a one-sentence teaser. Especially because they were lovingly wrapped by hand and the handwriting must have taken good effort (if they used the cursive it would have been even more attractive). As a public relations professional I think this marketing technique is brilliant, tapping into the book lovers’ serendipitous desire to be surprised with something new.
