The intersection of politics and literature: Analyzing the works of George Orwell and Salman Rushdie

Author(s):

Abstract:

The works of George Orwell and Salman Rushdie exemplify the profound intersection of politics and literature. Orwell’s dystopian novels, 1984 and Animal Farm, critique the dangers of totalitarianism and the manipulation of truth, while Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children and The Satanic Verses explore the complexities of postcolonial identity and the politics of representation. This article provides a comparative analysis of these two authors, focusing on their thematic concerns, narrative techniques, and the socio-political contexts that shaped their writings. By examining the intersections of power, identity, and resistance in their works, this article underscores the enduring relevance of Orwell and Rushdie in contemporary political and literary discourse.
