1984 George Orwell: What is the tone for the first chapter in Book 1 and how does Orwell establish it ?

I find the tone
of that very first chapter to be easily labeled as suspicious, suspect, cautious, controlling,
or invading. From the beginning, our traditional values are put in conflict with what we see
unfolding before us. We understand and can relate to a free society that prospers. This seems to
be completely opposite.

Individuals struggle. We see this as characters cook
cabbage as a singular meal, their homes are terribly dirty, and they have an uninvited visitor
constantly watching. However, the great images of the mottos displayed glisten in the sun. These
are great towers presented to be revered.

establishes this tone through
greatand stark contrast to our world today. I think both of these literary phrases would help
answer your question.
