“Outside, even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere.”(pg 2)
-The imagery of the outside tells us how the world has no life; it gives us the mood of sadness.
“WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY,IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT”(Pg 3)
-When there is war, people become more unite in their own country. If you have freedom but ignorant then you become a slave. And if you control the ignorant you become powerful.
1)“Goldstein was delivering his visual venomous attack upon the doctrines of the party-an attack so exaggerated and perverse that a child should have been able to see through it, and yet just plausible enough to fill one with an alarmed feeling that other people, less level-headed than oneself, might be taken in by it. He was abusing Big Brother, he was denouncing the dictatorship of the party, he was advocating freedom form speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought , he was crying hysterically that the revolution had been betrayed…”(pg. 11)
2) “SWINE! SWINE! SWINE!” and suddenly she picked up a heavy Newspeak dictionary and flung it at the screen. It struck Goldstein’s nose and bounced off; the voice continued inexorably.”(pg. 12)
3) “At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep slow, rhymical chant of “B-B!…B-B!... B-B!” over and over again, very slowly…”(pg. 14)
-This three quotes show how the party brainwashes the people, by making them hate who they want them to hate (the enemy). It’s all about controlling them. “IGNORANCE IS STRENTH” The party is gaining control over them by manipulating them.
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”(Pg. 1)
-This quote tells us the beginning of something, because the month April means “to open” It is often used to symbolize the season spring, which is the time when buds open and then flowers appear.

“He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon…He hated her because she was young and pretty and sexless…aggressively of chastity.”(pg. 13)
-Winston has an internal problem. Besides being unhappy because of all the things that are going on, I believe he needs love, he wants to have sex but he can’t which makes him frustrated.
“What was worst of all was that by means of such organizations as the Spies they were systematically turned into ungovernable little savages, and yet this produced in them no tendency whatever to rebel against the discipline of the Party. On the contrary, they adored the Party and everything connected with it.” (pg 21)
-This quote shows how the party has control on the children and their families.
“The past was dead, the future was unimaginable. What certainty had he that a single human creature now living was on his side? And what way of knowing that the dominion of the Party would not endure for ever?
-Winston feels alone and it makes us think of a dark world with no hope.
“The girl with dark hair was coming towards them across the field. With what seemed a single movement she tore off her clothes and flung them disdainfully aside. Her body was white and smooth, but it aroused no desire in him, indeed he barely looked at it.”(pg 27)
-This quote shows how the party has total control of individuals, Winston wants to have sex with the girl but he can’t which makes him hate her.
“Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered. Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory”.(pg 30)
The slogan shows how no one can keep records of anything except the party that’s why they have control over everything. If something bad happens in the past then the future would try to make it better.
I think that Winston's dream is foreshadowing what might happen later on in the novel
“We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.” (pg 22, )
“This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs -- to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record.”(pg 35)
- This quote shows how the party has control of the past by making the people believe what they themselves change making Winston doubt about his own memory.
“Or perhaps -- what was likeliest of all -- the thing had simply happened because purges and vaporizations were a necessary part of the mechanics of government.”(pg 40)
-This quote shows the idea of the double-thinking.
“Comrade Ogilvy, who had never existed in the present, now existed in the past, and when once the act of forgery was forgotten, he would exist just as authentically, and upon the same evidence, as Charlemagne or Julius Caesar.”(pg 42)
- This quote demonstrates how the slogan “who controls the past controls the future” Works.
my "analysis" might sound stupid but im only a sophmore
