1. What are two famous quotes in 1984? What do they mean? to the novel?

There are two quotes which are repeated in 1984. The first quote is one of the most
important in the novel. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. is
a slogan which is prominent from the beginning of the novel until the end of the
novel. The slogan is one attempt at doublethink. Doublethink is one of the
governments attempts at mind control. It is the ability to hold two contradictory
ideas in ones mind at the same time. They use such propaganda techniques to keep
the inhabitants of Oceania psychologically weakened, forcing them to accept
anything the government orders. For example, during one of the public speeches, the
speaker changes who they have been at war with since the beginning of Big Brother
years ago in mid speech to a new nation and the audience believes that they have
always been at war with that second nation. War is peace means that having
common enemies keep the people of Oceania as one. Slavery is freedom means
that if man is ruled by a force he will be free from danger of enemies and himself.
Ignorance is strength means that if people ignore what is obvious they can be
stronger than if they were to question the actions of the government. Another quote
that is repeated in the 1984 is who controls the past controls the future.who
controls the present controls the past. This means that every incidence of Winston
changing entire articles of media, he would be changing the past to validate the future
in favor of Oceania. Oceania changes the past to make the invention of every
weapon, the increase of every good, and the capture and birth of every human the
doing of Oceania.
 2. What is Newspeak? Thoughtcrime? Doublethink? How do doublethink and
thoughtcrime drive 1984? Give examples.

Newspeak is the official language of Oceania. Newspeak is one of the governments

attempts of mindcontrol. If the Party is able to control thought, it can also control action.
For example, because the word good is the opposite of bad, the word bad is not
needed. Similarly, all degrees of goodness can be expressed simply by adding prefixes
and suffixes to the word: ungood (bad) and plusgood (very good) and doubleplusgood
(wonderful). Newspeak not only eliminates unnecessary words, but it also promotes
elimination of thought. The idea behind Newspeak is that, as language must become less
expressive, the mind is more easily controlled. Doublethink is the ability to hold two
contradictory ideas in ones mind at the same time. As the Partys mind-control
techniques break down an individuals capacity for independent thought, it becomes
possible for that individual to believe anything that the Party tells them, even while hey
know that there is another reality. For example, at the Hate Week rally, the Party shifts its
allegiance, so the nation it has been at war with suddenly becomes its ally, and its former
ally becomes its new enemy. When the Party speaker suddenly changes the nation he
refers to as an enemy in the middle of his speech, the crowd accepts his words
immediately. thoughtcrime is thinking what is not accepted by the government. For
instance, it is illegal to think against Big Brother.
3. Analyze Winston Smith, Julia, and OBrien

The reader experiences the nightmarish world that Orwell envisions through the eyes of
the protagonist, Winston. His tendency to resist his individuality, and his intellectual
ability to reason about his resistance, enables the reader to observe and understand the
harsh domination that the Party and the Thought Police establish. Winston is curious,
desperate to understand how and why the Party exercises such power in Oceania. Apart
from his thoughtful nature, Winstons main attributes are his rebelliousness. Winston
hates the Party passionately and wants to test the limits of its power; he commits many
crimes throughout the novel, ranging from writing DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER in
his diary, to having a love affair with Julia, to secretly joining the Brotherhood. By the
end of the novel, Winstons rebellion is revealed as playing into OBriens hands of
physical and psychological torture, transforming Winston into a loyal subject of Big
Brother. Julia is Winstons lover and the only other person who Winston can be sure
hates the Party and wishes to rebel against it. Julia is sensual, pragmatic (vocab word),
and generally content to live in the moment and make the best of her life. Julia is
definitely concerned with enjoying sex and making practical plans to avoid getting caught
by the Party. She claims to have had affairs with various Party members. Mystery is in
the character of OBrien, a powerful member of the Inner Party who tricks Winston into
believing that he is a member of the group called the Brotherhood. OBrien inducts
Winston into the Brotherhood. Later he appears at Winstons jail cell to abuse and
brainwash him in the name of the Party.
