WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
By the end of part one, the reader has been introduced to Orwell's horrifying dystopia. We have learnt how a party can dominate its own people and how it can contradict its past to correct and alter in its favour. For example Orwell states that ’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. By controlling the past it means that Big Brother can never be wrong and therefore can tell its people how much better the world that they are living in is more of a Utopia than what most don't realise is horrific Dystopia. The party has removed the freedom of their people. They have done this by controlling their thoughts by introducing 'thoughtcrime' and 'telescreens' that monitor peoples every moment and are introducing a new language called 'newspeak' which aims to prevent the way that people express their feelings, for if you cannot explain an expression then how can you show it, this; therefore, will inevitably prevent rebellion.
