Just as an FYI Orwell was kinda a horrible person. You can still enjoy his literature if you want but he couldn't help to find Hitler unlikable, was a colonial cop in India and didn't like how the Hindi people treated him because of it and and made lists of people who he accused of being leftists and Jewish.
