Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier der abschließende Teil 25. In Freiheit des Parks zeigt Orwell anhand eines relativ banalen Vorfalls, nämlich der Verhaftung von Zeitungsjungen wegen Verkauf von Zeitungen, die offensichtlichen Schwachstellen demokratischer Gesellschaften, welche in ihrem Funktionieren nicht nur von ihren exekutiven und judikativen Organen abhängig sind, sondern eben auch von den Menschen, die dahinter stehen.

In Raffles und Miss Blandish untersucht Orwell das gerade in der Bücher- und Filmwelt aufkommende Phänomen des sympathischen Gentleman-Verbrechertyps, der Romantisierung von Kriminalität und die Glorifizierung des Prinzips „Die Macht des Stärkeren". Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, wer die Verbrechen verübt, da der Staat genauso korrupt und kriminell agiert wie das organisierte Verbrechen, also im Prinzip der Erfolg alle Mittel rechtfertigt.

Es bleibt offen, ob diese makabere Beichte den Tatsachen entspricht oder ob hier ein Selbstvermarktungs- und Marketinggenie zu Werke ging – jedenfalls hat es sich überaus gut verkauft.
