Quote by George Orwell
The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim-for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives -is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal.
Summary
This quote highlights the inherent disparities between social classes and their conflicting aspirations. The High seek to maintain their privileged positions, while the Middle class desires upward mobility. In contrast, the Low's constant struggles mainly leave them oblivious, but when they do have a goal, it is to eradicate social hierarchies and establish equality for all. George Orwell's quote sheds light on the contrasting motivations of these groups and the implications for societal harmony or conflict.
