Totalitarian Novels: Loyalty and Confession in Darkness at Noon
Manage episode 475952025 series 3484000
On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the nature of loyalty before introducing Hillsdale College president Dr. Larry P. Arnn.
Totalitarian novels depict regimes that exert complete and pervasive control over the lives of their subjects. George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Arthur Koestler, and C.S. Lewis imagine the terrible possibilities of unchecked modern tyranny. Join Larry P. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, and Hillsdale College students in this exploration of 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, and That Hideous Strength.
The course includes four lectures and four conversations, each about 30 minutes long. It is structured with one lecture about each book followed by a conversation between Dr. Arnn and the students about themes from that book.
Despite his regrets, Rubashov has corrupted himself to the point that he eventually doubts his righteousness, willingly confesses to his sham crimes, and accepts punishment from the Party.
