Laws & Crimes

[howwedo94]

There are multiple instances in which Winston asserts that crimes have been committed , but it also says early in the book that laws dont exist anymore. So how can there be crimes in the world of 1984 if there are no laws?

Haha! Good spot!

It's a bit like the bloke who arrives in jail for the first time. The Guard tells him, "We have only one rule around here - Obey all the rules!"

The rules are whatever the Party wants them to be.
