The phrase “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen” famously opens George Orwell’s “1984.” Some interpret the extra hour as a nod to the 24-hour system, while others see it as foreshadowing a dystopian reality where normal rules no longer apply. Literary uses of clock-striking 13 often symbolize disruption or the blending of traditional and modern time formats. This notion fuels discussions about how authors exploit small deviations in time representation to convey deeper themes of control, reality, or rebellion.
