1984 Post #3

QUOTE
"He remembered thinking at the time: that poor devil is done for" (64).

DESCRIPTION OF QUOTE
This is another quote that describes the Party. Winston describes a man who involuntarily twitched. Winston then thought to himself that this man would automatically be killed for a spasm that he had no control over. This book is a reality check that this could really happen because of a few small decisions. When things such as the Party gain ultimate control it is virtually impossible to return to what once was.

DEFINITIONS
Aquiline-having the facial features that resemble an eagle, or a beaked nose.
