Orwell grew up in what he considered a less fortunate family in terms of money. Only days after the birth of his only child, Orwell's father, Richard Blair, retired from his position as a junior official at the Indian Customs on a small pension. The lack of wealth in his family while growing up caused Orwell to see the world along different class distinctions. Everyone and everything that Orwell faced in the early stages of his life, he immediately judged by his place in the different financial levels of society. He found it a huge shame to classify his family as “lower middle class.” (British Writers, V7, 273-276)Orwell attended a small preparatory school on the south coast of Bengal, where he felt out of place because others in the school were much better off than him. For the way he saw the world through... in the middle of paper... in the sense that he knew how to make readers think like him, through the characters they followed. The last months of his life were spent with his second wife, Sonia Brownell. He had known her for a few years because she was an editorial collaborator of the magazine Orizzonte, which published some of her essays. Orwell intended to continue writing, but to break away from his political works and concentrate more on the treatment of human relationships. He actually began writing a new story in his altered writing style, but never managed to finish it. On 23 January 1950, at the age of forty-six, Orwell died following a tuberculous haemorrhage. Even though he was unable to continue writing, George Orwell will always be remembered as one of the most unique and talented writers in the history of his time (Orwell, Shelden).
