"Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain" (41).
George Orwell depicts an atmosphere in which everything is unclear and grey. People are walking around this planet doing what they are told and no longer question why they are put on the Earth in the first place. By writing that "everything faded away into a shadow" allows the reader to comprehend the concept that at one moment this is how something is, but then in ten minutes, the facts will change and nothing ever remains the same in this world. It all eventually gets altered, which creates the greyness and shadows. Orwell included this imagery in his novel to emphasize the point that when there are not any hardcore facts that last forever, people live in a world of "shadows" and there is nothing to grasp or hold onto.
