I predict the society of 1984, by the first two paragraphs of the novel, is very oppressed. I believe this to be true because it is set in a very grim place. The wind is strong and it is very cold outside, and when the main character steps inside what seems to be an office, and the elevators are not running to preserve energy for something called Hate Week. When he proceeds to take the stairs he sees a poster that reads "Big brother is watching you" with a face with eyes that seem to follow you. There could possibly be an oppressive government or something of that nature.
