In this novel, mainly the members of the party, and some of the proles, possess an immunity to violence. When Winston walked through the prole section, there was a bomb explosion, sending a human hand right next to him, he simply kicked it into the gutter. There are also many war scenes being displayed on the televisions, showing a mother sheltering children from a stream of bullets, and this was simply all for public amusement. This is surprisingly true to this day. All the time, you see immensely violent war movies on the television. It is also displayed in video games. From the calls of duties, to your battling in the fields, there is no escaping the violence portrayed in different forms of entertainment. But why would there not be? Our society loves to see the goriest thing we can. But that there is exactly Orwell’s point. We have come to enjoy violence as much as anything else. :beatdeadhorse5:
