THE PARTY

• They are a totalitarian regime who have in common
  with the Nazis and the Communists their ideas on
  a state controlled country with no minority
  people or any religion only the Party!
• But they also are dissimilar to these groups as
  they say that the reason the Nazis and Communists
  fell is because they let their enemies die as
  martyrs. But instead they, the party, torture
  their enemies until they come to love the party,
  then they kill them.

• He lives at Victory Mansions.
• He secretly hates the party and everything it
  stands for
• He falls in love with his workmate Julia.

  completely against the party. But how long can
  this last before they are caught?

• Winston soon becomes a subtle rebel against big
  brother and his Party joining up with O'Brien,
  an inner party member who wants to take them down
  from the inside. But can he be trusted?

The Thought Police
Doublethink
Newspeak
These are all created by The Party The Thought
Police watch you and work as double agents for
the party. Doublethink is where you are powerless
to object when they abuse your mind by holding
two contradictory ideas which you know to be
contradictory but simultaneously believing both
at the same time. Newspeak is the new language,
many thousand words less than English.

Storyline

• The basic story line is that soon Winston and
  Julia get caught up in trying to deceive the
  party along with an under ground cult. Trying to
  find their way out of a world full of suffering,
  oppression, torture and back stabbing.
• They soon find themselves in a situation where
  they are betrayed to the thought police and are
  then captured to be sent to the feared, room 101.
  But can they escape the trickeries of they party
  and the ministry of love

8
Ministry of peace
Ministry of Love
Ministry of plenty
Ministry of truth
9
The ministry of truth, which concerned itself
with news, entertainment, education and the fine
arts . The ministry of peace, which concerned
itself with war. The ministry of love which
concerned itself with law and order. And the
ministry of plenty, which was responsible with
economic affairs.
The ministry of love was the really frightening
one. There were no windows in it at all. It was a
place impossible to enter except on official
business, and only by penetrating through a maze
of barbed wire entanglements, steel doors and
hidden machine nests
10
Setting
The book is set in 1984 (although you probably
should have guessed that by now) but was written
in 1948. It was Orwells vision of the future on
the basis of how life was like at the time. It is
set in London, which is the capital of what was
England but now is Airstrip 1.

OBrien

• He is an inner party member
• He is secretly part of the brotherhood along
  with Julia and Winston and also initiates them
  in.
• He wears large glasses, is tall , middle aged
  and has a come over
• He is initially Wintons friend but can he be
  trusted???

12
conclusion

• This political satire is definitely a must read
  as it is an classic which will force you to read
  on page after page.
• chilling yet fascinating view of the human mind
  manipulated and manipulating..
• And, as many people have said before, a warning
  to us all !!!
