George Orwell’s 1984 mirrors the growing cult of personality in North Korea’s authoritarian government through the use of propaganda as a form of control that dehumanizes culture and halts the progression of society. In the Paranoid Peninsula of North Korea the future becomes a vacuum and people only know how to live in the present that has been created for them. Propaganda doesn’t only exist in the form of posters strewn to the walls, but also in crude reality where every step of their life is influenced by the government’s message of a controlled life. Propaganda is inherent in school curricula, music, clothing, literature, art, and more.
