This paper is a brief look at the possibility that George Orwell sabotaged his own life, despite his successes. When things were going well in his life he tended to just 'drop' things and move on, and the contention of this essay is that despite his fantastic work, and a lot of it is mentioned here, that for some reason Orwell was more content to rant and rave about systems and the like as opposed to fitting in with society.
