   Thanks to all who replied to my question. There is apparently not a lot   
   written by Orwell about his purpose behind 1984 but it this is not   
   surprising considering how he died only a few months after publication and   
   was presumably quite ill for those last few months.   
      
   The letter cited by Mabel is very informative and goes a long way towards   
   answering my question(s).
