Keep the Aspidistra Flying - Tetaplah Jaya, Aspidistra

The critique of materialism feels so sharp and personal. I wonder what made Orwell focus on this theme during the writing process.

His struggles with identity and societal expectations made me question how much of ourselves we’re willing to sacrifice for security.

The city feels almost like a character itself, shaping the characters' desires and frustrations. I’d love to hear others' thoughts on this.
