Pandemic Brazil seen in George Orwell’s 1984 dystopia

Abstract

This article presents the brasilian context on 2020, in the middle of the most serious pandemic of the last 100 years, and intends to understand this context from dystopian 1984 by George Orwell, a fiction storie about a totalitarian and oppressive future, published in 1949. Many elements on 1984 points similarities with the Brazilian context on 2020, such as hate speech against opponents, ministries disagreeing with its institutional mission, ante the untruth said to the hole society. The accusation plays Two Minutes of Hate; Anti-Ministries and Untruth, taken from 1984, seek to expose such similarities.
