The constant fear of his wrath is plastered in an omnipresent manner through posters and slogans such as “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU” (Orwell 3). Through this propaganda, Big Brother succeeds in emanating a vigorous feeling of constantly being watched and observed, causing Winston and the people of the Party to be in a continuous state of fear.

Winston writes in a diary how much he hates the government, which ultimately would get him killed by the Thought Police if he was caught.
