Explanation:

George Orwell's "1984" work, written in 1959, is considered a dystopia within the genre of science fiction in the context of literary studies. It is a description of the dark future of a society which, subject to a regime of totalitarian nature, is in a state of war for an indefinite period.

It is in this context that Winston Smith, one of the main characters and motivated by circumstances, finds hope in the proletarians. Winston makes explicit in the narrative that, in his view, this group of workers would constitute the only free class. Our protagonist seems to believe that this freedom would give the proletarians the necessary power to react against the current system.

Winston begins to have hope in the proletarian when he finds a woman working while singing. Winston realizes that she sings despite her difficulty, convincing him that the proletarians are truly human.
