i yapped a lot about historical context in mine, linking it to my themes of hope, individuality, and repression and my teachers said they really liked it. if u have lots of historical context then link it to the story being a sort of cautionary warning to readers about totalitarianism i think it shows that you understand the meaning of the book and orwells intentions
eg in mine i talked about stalinist policies linking it to the memory hole, orwells work as a propagandist for BBC during WW2 and the atomisation of society similar to nazi germany
