hi, I just wanted to know your opinion about what were Orwells prespectives of life and of human nature.
Based on Animal Farm and 1984 I would say that he had a rather pesimistic outlook on life yet I read an article written by Mario Vargasllosa where he defends the posture that ha was optimistic.
Another argument that caught my attention in his essay is that he says that Orwell was in favour of socialism but against the totalitarian regimes of his time.
