Yes, paternalism is a significant theme in George Orwell's "1984." The Party exercises a form of paternalism by controlling every aspect of life, insisting that its surveillance and manipulation are for the citizens' own good. This is exemplified through the constant Propaganda and the idea that the Party knows what is best for the people, despite stripping them of their freedoms and individuality. Ultimately, this paternalistic approach serves to maintain the Party's absolute power and control over the populace.
