Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, December 11 2023

Thomas Pynchon remarked that George Orwell, in his writing from 1948, was acutely aware that fascism had not been entirely vanquished, despite the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. Orwell, best known for his novels “1984” and “Animal Farm,” was deeply concerned with the persistence and potential resurgence of totalitarian and oppressive ideologies, even after the world witnessed the fall of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

Orwell’s works from that period are often seen as cautionary tales about the enduring nature of totalitarianism and the ways it can infiltrate and corrupt societies. His insights into the mechanisms of oppressive regimes and the threats they pose to freedom and democracy are considered profoundly prescient. Pynchon’s observation underscores Orwell’s foresight and the enduring relevance of his warnings about the persistence of fascist ideologies in the post-war world.
