1984 | Book 1 | Chapter 1 Summary & Analysis |
George Orwell
English Literature
- Starts out in London, England, now called Airstrip One, and part of a wider
community of Nations called Oceania
...
- We meet the protagonist, Winston Smith, who works at the Ministry of Truth
...
• London itself is pretty rundown
• The main feature of the apartment is a tele-screen, a device like a TV, and it can
dimmed but never turned off, and it transmits both ways:
• When you watch, it can watch you
- As long as Winston is within its field of vision, everything he des is heard and
every movement is seen
- Winston moves to an alcove out of range of the tele-screen to write a diary which
we find out quickly is illegal
1
- He writes of a monologue that’s been running through his head:
• Here, April 4th, 1984, that morning two people were going to a daily ritual, called
two minutes hate
...
• That morning it had been a Emmanuel Goldstein as the target of the two minutes
hate
...
• When the programme ended, Winston had glanced at O’Brien
...
• This is considered thought crime, he’ll be vaporised for it
...
• At the onset of 1894, the description of Winston Smith’s home and workplace,
reveal a new London Society in 1984
...
• Winston’s decision to write a diary is a dangerous act; the words that he writes
are even more dangerous
...
Winston is a natural
rebel in a conformist world
...
• They’re encouraged to fear enemies, real or imagined
...
• Orwell links the two minutes hate with fear, and once fear manifests, it becomes
a permanent state that controls everyone
