Guess they’re giving the finger to Heaven

Basically they deny any and all spirituality

Sure, she’s well built. But she experiences no development throughout the story. In the end, it’s all meaningless; the one time experience of someone who was already on track.

Also you being autistic has nothing to do with the book so not too sure of what you’re trying to convey.

Well I knew it was going to happen, I was prepared for that lol

Basically I hated it

The character development is as poor as the ideas that are brought out. The story itself is plain depressing and is a simple loop. It feels unfinished.

The characters themselves are interesting though, and the story could have been.

I agree, it fits really well in a show, but the books are hard to read, and it’s not because of their size… when I read GOT, I roughly only looked at the Daenerys part, and then looked at the rest, and even then, it was quite boring and difficult to follow…

I think it depends mainly on the action for each perspective. If they all follow the same action, and the perspectives are linked (like from the perspective of one character and then another who is with them), it should be fine to have like 5-6.

I also find that having just a chapter from another perspective (even that of a random character) can really help to, well, put in perspective, the action. When you follow the hero, a big monster is like « meh, how is he going to take him down? », but if you follow the altercation from a random peasant’s perspective, the danger feels all the more real and you are reminded of the stakes of the fight.

All in all, I think that there should be 3 « main perspectives » at most. Even that is a lot (Eragon: Eldest is already made boring by having 2 different main perspectives). As for the « random citizen » perspective, you may have a lot of you want, but they must be sparse and put an emphasis on something you want to show the reader. Recurring perspectives are really not the best way to tell a story, especially if it’s on different actions.

And yes, I find A song of ice and fire to be a poor book series for its deplorable perspective management.

Ok then I'll add an answer to your question in spoilers just in case.

>!In the beginning, the main character is not unhappy, but he can't be said to be happy either: he's just living. He has wants but he doesn't really act on them. He finds the situation all around him to be very strange.!<

>!The common people, socially lower than him, find happiness in their lives, but they're more free than he is in some regards. The people higher than him seem to have it better than him too. !<

>!The most important take you can get from the book, in my opinion, is that when Winston and Julia try to get away from society and become free to build their own happiness, they're denied that. However, in order to have no martyrdom, the regime makes people happy that they will die through brainwashing before killing them. The final lines are about Winston loving Big Brother.!<

Hahaha 1984 is horrible in that regard, I still shudder when I think back on it.

Yes they are happy, but I won’t spoil the book for you. Orwell’s take on this is very interesting and troubling.
