The first half of the book provides a detailed account of the bleak living conditions among the working class in the industrial towns of Northern England during the 1930s. The second half is an autobiographical exploration of the author's own socialist beliefs and a critique of the middle-class left-wing intelligentsia.
Key points:
1. Class Inequality: Orwell critiques England's deep-rooted class disparity, focusing on the poor conditions of the working class and the bourgeoisie's lack of empathy.
