1984 Post #2

QUOTE
"It struck him as curious that you could create a dead man but not living ones" (47).

DESCRIPTION OF QUOTE
This quote is a testemant to the brutality of the Party. The Party can do whatever they want; they can even create a person who never existed just to keep the illusion of perfection alive. Winston is a perfect example of someone who is just about brain washed by the Party. He hates the party but he creates an illusion that he really does like the Party. He is able to push his true feelings to the back of his mind; which is what the party wants for the transition generation, as it would be called by the Party.

DEFINITIONS
Doubleplusungood- Very bad in Newspeak

Unperson- A person who no longer exists, a person who has been vaporized
