It’s fascinating to explore George Orwell’s complex journey from his time as a colonial policeman to his later works as a writer and critic. His introspection and ability to evolve his views over time are a testament to the power of self-reflection and the importance of questioning one’s beliefs. Orwell’s writings continue to provoke meaningful discussions about society, politics, and human nature, reminding us of the value of critical thinking and empathy in shaping a better future. |

IMO, his Essays are where the essence is; the novels are merely a thought-experiment on how far you can map the ideas onto a "realistic" world.
For example, reading his Notes on Nationalism (https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...) will give you greater insight into Animal Farm/1984.
