antique shop room

[fly like a bird]

In the room above the antique shop, Winston and Julia are away from big brother and watching eyes of the party. This is a safe haven in a world where everything you do, think, and say is constantly judged as acceptable to the parties views or not. Everyone out of fear is satisfied with the "rules" of Oceania and obey them or else are vaporized. What would this secret room represent in the world today? To some extent the world is watched through security cameras, and it stops some people from doing what is wrong out of fear of being punished.

What would this secret room represent in the world today?

The room today might represent your home. The one place that you own that you know has no source of surveillance to an outside source. Although home or your house does not entirely represent this room as if the government suspects you of something what stops them from secretly monitoring you while you think you are in private, as in your home.


To some extent the world is watched through security cameras, and it stops some people from doing what is wrong out of fear of being punished.

That is exactly the point. Even though the government might not even be observing you from these sources they are put in place and instill the fear that you are being watched. Their presence is what keeps the fear there and what keeps you from doing wrong things, the government obviously came up with this tactic because it is highly effective and doesn’t require much money or time if no one is actually watching.
