What is Orwell saying?

Theme Examples

Julia

“‘It’s this bloody thing that does it,’ she said, ripping off the scarlet sash of the Junior Anti-Sex League and flinging it onto a bough.”

Julia

"I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones."

“Well then, I ought to suit you dear. I’m corrupt to the bones.”

Ministry of Truth

"Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. (1.4.8)"

"...And the Records Department, after all, was itself only a single branch of the Ministry of Truth, whose primary job was not to reconstruct the past but to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programs, plays, novels – with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child's spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary. (1.4.12)"

The War

"As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead."

The War

"Goods must be produced, but they need not be distributed. And in the practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare."

Room 101

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," repeated Winston obediently.

"Who controls the present controls the past," said O'Brien, nodding his head with slow approval. "Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?" (3.2.39-40)

"He obeyed the Party, but he still hated the Party. In the old days he had hidden a heretical mind beneath an appearance of conformity. Now he had retreated a step further: in the mind he had surrendered, but he had hoped to keep the inner heart inviolate. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he preferred to be in the wrong. (3.4.24)"

O'Brien

"Does the Brotherhood exist?"

"That, Winston, you will never know. If we choose to set you free when we have finished with you, and if you live to ninety years old, still you will never learn whether the answer to that question is Yes or No. As long as you live, it will be an unsloved riddle in your mind."

O'Brien

‘“They got me a long time ago,’ said O’Brien with a mild, almost regretful irony.”

Slogans

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

Slogans

"war is peace

freedom is slavery

ignorance is strength"

Do we agree?
