"1984" has one glaring aspect that lies in its relentless bleakness, which at times can overshadow the depth of its social commentary. The exaggerated portrayal of totalitarian control, while serving as a cautionary tale, occasionally verges on the melodramatic, potentially distancing readers from engaging with the narrative and it's characters.
