Original Writing Of The Newspeak Dictionary

Towards the end of Orwell’s novel that presents a dystopian society, the antagonist, O’Brien, a close member of the inner party, warns Winston, the protagonist and one of only two reasonable people left, that “We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them” (319). Winston, who has been taken prisoner for his political dissent, receives this grave warning tied down to a chair with O’Brien’s face staring at him from above. This alarming solution to the infamous mystery frightens Winston a significant amount, who after sacrificing so much, has just learned his fate. Orwell has brought about this fate to emphasize the perpetual triumph of the party over its enemies. In George Orwell's 1984, the author creates the totalitarian state of Oceania to warn the reader of the potential corruption and oppression of such a government.

Winston conceptualizes the inescapable desire to be free through the diary he kept where “The first step had been a secret, involuntary thought; the second had been the opening of the diary. [Winston] had moved from thoughts to words, and now from words to actions” (Orwell 160). Unfortunately, the very people Winston conspired with turned out to be government agents.

The Party controls everything in Oceania, even the people’s history and language. Currently, the Party is forcing the implementation of an invented language called Newspeak, which attempts to prevent political rebellion by eliminating all words related to it. Even thinking rebellious thoughts is illegal. Such thoughtcrime is, in fact, the worst of all crimes. The party completely abolishes free thoughts, sex, and any oppression or expression of individuality. It is an absolute abysmal time; Winston has not been brainwashed by the “thought police” or the party. Winston spends his evenings wandering through the poorest neighborhoods in London, where the proletarians, live grimy lives, proportionately free of Party monitoring. Winston, with his thoughts of overthrowing the government is part of a committee called “The Ministry of Truth.” His occupation is to amend historical records to for the needs of the party. To review records of what really happened and then to amend them to please the party would drive someone off the edge. He then notices a secret admirer who has been staring at him. He has concerns that she might be working for the thoughtpolice and would turn him in if he expressed any interest. Formerly, he receives a spontaneously written letter from this girl. The letter reads, “I love you” from Julia. The couple begin an unpublished affair in the shadows, constantly looking out for the party

Winston stopped for a moment to look up at a poster. The poster read: “Victory” with an enlarged picture of Big Brother on it. Winston immediately thinks of the war we are fighting; the war with Eurasia. It has always been Eurasia, he knew that.

“There seemed to be nothing to see; no fences, no creeks or trees, no hills or fields. If there was a road, I could not make it out in the faint starlight. There was nothing but land…I had never before looked up at the sky when there was not a familiar mountain ridge against it. But this was the complete dome of heaven, all there was of it. I did not believe that my dead father and mother were watching me from up there; they would still be looking for me at the sheep-fold down by the creek…. I had left even their spirits behind me. The wagon jolted on, carrying me I knew not whither. I don't think I was homesick. If we never arrived anywhere, it did not matter. Between that earth and that sky I felt erased, blotted out. I did not say my prayers that night: here, I felt, what would be would be.” This new surrounding is the beginning of an adventure for

In the beginning of the book we see that Big Brother is in charge of Oceania and at the end of the novel, Big Brother is still in charge. The beginning of the novel is important as the end, however, nothing seems to change Winston loved big brother then later he questions himself why he loves Big brother. After being torture he no longer has questions of Big Brother or where his loyalty is he loves and respect Big Brother. “But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother” (Book 3 Chapter 6). During the novel, Winston wanted to join a rebellion and fight against Big Brother but after being torture Winston hopes faded and ended up if nothing has happened. The only thing Winston change is some words that went against the Party but after losing his job and being torture he went along with whatever Big Bother said. Which made no difference to Oceania since they have still had to follow and obey the Party and their awful

Lastly, when O’Brien came in contact with Winston, he asked about Big Brother and asked to join their party. “We believe that there is some kind of conspiracy, some/ kind of secret organization working against the Party, and/ that you are involved in it. We want to join it and work for/ it. “(177) In this quotation, Winston clearly exposes the fact that he is against Big Brother and he wants to join O’Brien’s group, and that he doesn’t care about the fact that O’Brien may be just pretending to be an ally, or the fact that even thinking of going against Big Brother can kill him. This clearly shows how brave Winston is compared to all the other people in Oceania who have yet to dare such a thing.

Winston makes it known that Big Brother is freighting him. He wouldn’t think it’s imaginably possible to brainwash the people of his country and erase what had happened.

The pursuit of freedom and the longing for a better life and “knowledge give people power, and truth will set people free” are the common understanding of the human nature. In novel, the Oceania’s Party controlled life in a constant state of propaganda-induced fear through the four ministries of Peace, Love, Plenty, and Truth. Winston’s job at the Ministry of Truth involves revisions of historical documents and rewrites of news stories to reflect the Party’s infallibility. Because the Party was afraid of historical knowledge will form power that justify or encourage the present and the future. If history was idyllic, then people will act to re-create it; if the present was nightmarish, then people will be to subvert the present in order to create a good future. The fact of the matter, the Party, which carries out government policies in Oceania, rations food, issues clothing, and selects social activities. Both chocolate and tobacco are in short supply during this latest war. Public facilities were in shreds and patches, and most of people live in poverty. The

We might think, he never appears in the novel or he may not actually exist but Big Brother is the ruler of Oceania. At everywhere Winston sees his posters with the message “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.” Big Brother’s image haunts Winston’s life and fills him with hatred and fascination.

In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston embarks on a journey to gain knowledge on the interworking and purpose of his oppressors, The Party. The journey follows Campbell’s Hero’s Journey model rather closely and elements of this journey are often key to the progression of 1984’s plot as a whole. Winston knows that he is different from the “mindless drones” he calls his fellow Oceania citizens. He knows that he feels bound by some external force and he has a confident feeling that he knows this is the party. What he does not quite understand is how and why this external force controls him and his way of thinking the way that it does. He becomes obsessed with this question of truth and he involuntarily begins to devote his entire thinking to his metal dilemma. This is the psychological journey that Winston thrusts

In the beginning of the book, Winston is introduced as a party member who works in the Minister of Truth. The readers realizes that Winston has a slight rebellious side to him when he buys a journal and writes, “Down with Big Brother” (Orwell 18). This puts Winston in danger because like every Oceania citizen, Winston is surrounded by telescreens, hidden microphones, and spies. This also demonstrates the distrust that the government has for their citizen, for they can not say, do, or think anything against the head political figure, Big Brother. One

During chapter nine the book is mainly focusing on two sections of the book. “ The Theory and practice of Oligarchical Collectivism.” From Winston's reading, he reads from Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky and their theories on economics, class struggle, and political issues. These issues seem to make the world the same as Oceania, even though both countries call them by different names. To me this builds tension in the book, because everything is so calm and nothing is being questioned, which is different from the rest of the book where everything is always overly thought over. It seems as though Winston has found a secure place. During chapter 9 symbolism and recurring thoughts are shown a lot, like the prole woman Winston saw to be dumb, comes

Winston 's current situation working there is the major factor which lets him realize how Big brothers hold back the peoples opportunity to freedom. However, Winston keeps his thoughts and hate about Big Brother and the party for his own secret in his diary because the party will not allow anyone keeping a rebellious idea. After a while Big Brother realizes Winston’s suspicious behavior and has an individual named O’Brien sent to watch over Winston. O’Brien is a very smart man from the Ministry of truth, who is a member of the 'inner party '(the higher class). Winston comes to trust him and shares his inner secrets and ideas about the rebellion against Big Brother. O 'Brien tells Winston about a man named Emmanuel Goldstein whom claims to know the leader of the rebels against Big Brother. This also promises Winston to get a copy of the book he Longley desires. Suddenly O’Brien goes against Winston as Big Brother had already planned. Showing major secretive external conflict.

Eventually Winston is caught by Oceania and subjected to torture by a man named O’Brien until Winston agrees with everything Oceania claims, just like everyone else.
