Decline Of The English Murder

"You never seem to get a good murder nowadays." In this essay from 1946, Orwell cheekily dissects the public's nostalgic craving for "respectable" murders—domestic crimes with tidy motives and middle-class culprits—and laments the rise of messy, modern violence that lacks narrative charm. Through this shift, Orwell critiques the changing moral tone of society and the media's role in shaping public sentiment. Born Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell (1903-1950) was a British novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his insightful social and political commentary. His personal engagement with real world issues imbues his work with a sense of social conscience that continues to resonate with readers, and his two most famous novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
