Summary/Abstract: Expanding the moment in which beautiful speculations stand on the border between truth and error is a common feature of George Orwell’s work that unlocks the distance between fact and fiction, truth and error, definiteness and indefiniteness. In anepoch where nothing different could be made publicly or lived openly, a Ministry of Truth employee, Winston Smith, encouraged himself to glance at the spaces in between language and discover another variant of the world he knew. Nineteen Eighty-Four uses the errors of human behaviour, echoes the very essence of post modernism and transcends the drama form.
