What is a good research paper topic for George Orwell?

I need to write a research paper on George Orwell relating to his books: "1984" and "Keep the Aspidistra Flying". I've read both books and understand them both, but I cant come up with a topic to research. Please only post actual topic questions, rather than suggestions.

What is a good research paper topic for George Orwell?
George Orwell was considered at the time of writing as rather "out there" as far as his vision of the future. Now, he is considered prophetic by many. An interesting topic would be to compare several items that Orwell "foretold" by his writings and show how his vision has been realized or how it shortly will be realized by present day societies.
Reply:I've only read 1984, but you might want to research his political views and opinions. Write about how they influenced his writing. Like I know that 1984 is supposed to be anti-communist and a fictional version of the Soviet Union's government under Lenin (or Stalin--can't remember which).
Reply:Gosh... I would probably write on how much his writing style improved from one of his first novels to his most important. "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" is pretty terrible.





I would probably write on the importance of the female love interest to the plot/message of the novel. Actually, I think that is the best.





Compare/Contrast Julia's role to the woman in Aspidistra (I forgot her name)
