The cover page of the book 1984 is a plain white cover with a blue pupil like shape on the right side of the book. The simple cover symbolises the setting and basic problem of the story. The color white is the majority color of the cover because it the symbol for simple or basic. Describing the “Big Brother” government in the book. Keeping it simple in the society with a decreasing vocabulary each year and taking away the freedom of the people to have real feeling about anything and anyone. Also having taken away the right of free thinking or anything unique for that matter. They shape you into a mindless body that is controls by the government. The blue pupil represents “Big Brother” as well but suggests that he sees everything. Keeping a chokehold on the people of the land and restricting them of any chance to rebel against them. The shape of the eye on the cover is simple yet says alot about the book overall. The contrasting color of white and blue makes each color pop out as well. Making it easy to notice the eye just as the eye makes it look easy as it spys on its city.
