...
If you can feel
that staying human is worth while, even when
it can’t have any result whatever, you’ve
beaten them
...
In this quote, Winston is explaining to Julia
that death is inevitable; he is telling her that
even if there is nothing you can do about the
way you feel, just by being able to have
feelings and your own thoughts, you have
already managed to overcome the party
...
It is because of these reasons that
this quote is considered to be a striking idea
or phrase
...
” it tells us that this is
something he is extremely proud of, and that
he wishes more people could experience the
same things he is
...
When Orwell did this, he
meant it as a way of subtly mentioning that
not many people in Oceania do feel, and that
if they do feel, and feel that they are meant to
stay human, then they have in fact beaten the
party
...
The telescreen was
dimmed to a low murmur; the richness of the
darkblue carpet gave one the impression of
treading on velvet” (Orwell 167)
...
This
is describing a room in O’Brien’s home
...
This quote shows how
outrageously luxurious the Inner Party
members lived compared to those who were
just considered to be citizens
...
“Anything could be true
...
the law of gravity was
nonsense
...
’
Winston worked it out
...
’”
(Orwell 278)
...
This quote is
important, not only because its use of
figurative language, but also because of its
vital role in the story
...
This
is just proof to the party that their methods of
brainwashing and torture are doing exactly
what they were designed to do, as well as
stripping away at Winston’s personality, and
allowing him to see that the Party is winning
and there is nothing he can do about it except
give up
...
He remembered better the rackety,
uneasy circumstances of the time: the
periodical panics about air raids and the
sheltering in Tube stations, the piles of rubble
everywhere, the unintelligible proclamations
posted at street corners, the gangs of youths in
shirts all the same color” (Orwell 160)
...
By paying
close attention to diction, imagery, and
details, the reader can easily notice that the
citizens, at that time, were always slightly
being made nervous by something; nervous,
in case you were unaware, is a well known
synonym of uneasy
...
That inkling sense of
possible tragedy is basically the definition of
uneasy by itself! Another thing the author
does to portray the tone of uneasiness, is
include imagery
...
This helps the reader identify the
tone in a more personal and realistic way,
which most everyone should realize for this
particular passage is uneasy
...
With the quote
“
...
” the reader is given
multiple examples of valuable details that can
be used to find the tone
...
"The old feeling, that at bottom it did not
matter whether O'Brien was a friend or an
enemy, had come back
...
O'Brien had tortured
him to the edge of lunacy, and in a little
while, it was certain, he would send him to
his death
...
"(Orwell
252)
...
At this particular time in the
story, Winston was being tortured to the
extent that he thought he might die, then
O’Brien asks Winston, once again, the
number of fingers he is holding up, and
Winston replies by saying”Four, five, sixin
all honesty i don’t know
...
This quote really does display the
sickening truth behind the Party and how well
it is able to brainwash its citizens into
believing what they want them to, and doign
what they want them to
...
“Power is not a means; it is an end
...
The object of persecution is
persecution
...
The object of power is power
...
This quote is an example of another striking
idea, or revealed truth
...
It compares the party to a
revolution that's outcome involves a dictator
...
” roughly translating to: there
is always another agenda, and that is why
people do the things they do
...
They
implement these thing to help gain and
maintain their complete and utter control;
that's the Party’s hidden agenda
...
Being in a
minority, even a minority of truth, did not
make you mad
...
”(Orwell 216)
...
This is the
first moment throughout the novel thus far
that Winston believes himself to be sane
...
By Winston acknowledging that
he is definitely not insane, this makes him
even more involved and spirited in the
AntiParty BrotherHood cause, which in turn
makes him even more dangerous to the Party
...
if you clung to the truth even against the
whole world, you were not mad
...
He was thought to have
been mad for a long time, but now for anyone
to say the world is flat would be accepted
worldwide as complete rubbish
...
” (Orwell 270)
...
This sentence was spoken to Winston during
interrogation, where he was already
vulnerable and being abused into believing
the Party’s lies
...
” he is
essentially murdering Winston’s sense of
hope, or will to live, and telling him that no
matter how much he can think, or think that
something will happen, nothing will ever
happen because the Party is too strong and too
powerful
...
