1984+Notes+from+Morgan


 * Newspeak **
 * 1) Control—fundamental aspect of Newspeak lies in control and manipulation
 * 2) The simplification and dulling down of language of people is reflected in Newspeak (see living quarters, jobs, food, drink, colours, etc.)
 * 3) The genius of manipulation—if you control language, you control thought (Winston starts achieving a sense of freedom when he // thinks // he has the freedom to write/use language)
 * 4) Shows Inner Party’s progress, power and corruption, historical strategies, etc.
 * 5) Shows power, total manipulation, and total control of the Party and the extent to which they can corrupt the mind
 * 6) Reflects dullness of dystopian society—shows abolition of creativity and individuality that makes us human

Beginning of novel
 * repetition of the adjective “vile”
 * 3rd person narrator who will focus on Winston
 * Number 13, unlucky connotations?
 * Imagery, smell of // “boiled cabbage and old rag mats” //
 * Very institutional
 * ** Cabbage is a motif **
 * Represents poverty because it’s cheap
 * Parsons house smells of cabbage, hallway smells of cabbage, etc.
 * Winston is aged with his weakness and his ulcer, etc. –reflects his mental state as well
 * Can monitor how Winston’s mental state changes as he rebels against the party
 * Who is the narrator? Narrative voice comes through sometimes and it’s not Winston’s terminology
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">Every once and a while a distinctive narrative voice distinctive from Winston comes through
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">Ex. “fruity” contrasts with grey atmosphere
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">First colour aside from dull is blue, and its “harsh”
 * Start to get introduced to the physical vs. emotional control à the emotional and thought control is more important; // “only the thought police mattered” //
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Constantly being watched reminds people to fear the Party, it establishes fear and works it so that it is in their mind and they can never escape it even without the reminders
 * // “There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment… You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.” //
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Hypocrisy/dichotomy/contradiction in the party’s slogans—// “War is peace; Freedom is slavery; Ignorance is strength” //—and everything the party does can support double think, that you can make someone believe anything, also perhaps shows total control in that they can get away with this
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Central irony there to the names of the ministries

 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">Narrative voice represents what Winston would think if he could articulate those thoughts, but he can’t
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Winston’s narrative voice comes through with describing Miniluv
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Naming of anything is quite ironic
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">“Victory Gin” tastes disgusting// “a sickly, oily smell, as a Chinese rice-spirit” //
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">Why so much attention to detail to the telescreen, etc.?
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">Shows how difficult it is to evade Big Brother
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">Draws attention to the injustice of it all
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; msolist: l1 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; tabstops: list 36.0pt;">// “It was a peculiarly beautiful book. Its smooth creamy paper, a little yellowed by age, was of a kind that had not been manufactured for at least forty years past…” // complete opposite of every other description
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">symbol of old world, beautiful, creative, clean
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">represents history

 * like the paperweight, symbolizes freedom à paperweight smashes when Winston’s captured
 * <span style="font-family: times new roman; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l1 level2 lfo2; msolist: l1 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 72.0pt; tabstops: list 72.0pt;">is the book really that beautiful? Or is what it represents and its potential in how it helps Winston rebel that’s beautiful?

**Beginning of novel, continued:**


 * very spiteful of women, no experience, has no need for him
 * ironic that he will need Julia as she gets “inside him”
 * comes across as being ignorant and sexist
 * what do women symbolize?
 * Control over gender even? Defeminisation?
 * Associates Julia with the thought police, he’s so jumpy of women, so untrusting
 * “humorous, brutal face” oxymoron
 * Foreshadowing of O’Brien’s lying, ironic
 * O’Brien is intrinsically a two-faced character, you never understand his character, he’s ambiguous
 * All descriptions of O’Brien show him as shifty and contradictory, mysterious and with two sides, etc.
 * Trick and charming nature to him, shows him being tricksy
 * O’Brien has paradoxes, “curiously simplified”
 * Weird that Winston is narrating this and he’s drawn to O’Brien because O’Brien’s nature is so odd and suspicious, you’d think he’d be paranoid and immediately think he was a member of the Thought Police
 * Obviously with the narrator’s undertone because of the language and reference to 18th century figures who Winston could never know
 * Deeply drawn to O’Brien, he has “always known it” (that moment links to this page)
 * Subliminal attraction towards O’Brien, and O’Brien recognizes Winston’s attraction to him
 * Shows subliminal and imminent attraction to Big Brother that people cannot possibly fight
 * How would O’Brien be able to survive if his face gave away a sense of unorthodoxy?
 * Again Winston should not be drawn to him
 * Everything he’s drawn to (paperweight, Julia, etc.) things that hurt him
 * Winston is naïve and believed in things that weren’t true, etc.
 * We’re meant to see Winston as the common man, he’s a hero in some ways but he is the symbol of the common man
 * Does rebel, somewhat heroic, but ultimately he just proves ignorant
 * He is the outcast character, the reader placed into the story
 * This helps the reader to understand the society as a dystopia as their opinions are guided by him because they relate to him and more easily adapt his opinions
 * Winston’s story isn’t unique, Orwell wants us to view him as the same as many people in that position
 * Winston’s symbolic of how futile it is to rebel against the Inner Party
 * “Emmanuel Goldstein” is the enemy of the people—a Jewish name, reference to World War II and how the Nazis worked the same way and manipulated the minds of people
 * Nazis used scapegoats to manipulate their power
 * Like Snowball in animal farm
 * Ironic because we know what’s going on and how it’s not really like that, all lies, etc. // “As usual, the face of Emmanuel…some hiding place in Oceana itself” //
 * Very typical description of the Jews, Orwell’s criticism of the anti-Semitism
 * Symbol of hate is like the symbol of love, generic, typical face and character of Emmanuel but also Goldstein
 * Image of sheep, mindlessly following
 * Historical illusion to Nazi party, West’s fear of Asia at the time perhaps, etc.
 * Mention of the book foreshadows what will happen to Winston
 * // “Terrible book” // who says this?
 * Terrible reference to society’s view if it’s Winston
 * Foreshadowing of Winston’s terrible fate due to the book if it’s the narrator
 * Paragraphs are longer than usual during two-minute hate and much more passionate, emotional
 * TOTAL control—even the outpour of emotions, even when they’re faked
 * Describes ghost army as sheep, ironic that the people watching are sheep
 * Long, complex sentences with similes, description, emotive phrases, nouns, etc. in the syntax during the Hate
 * Syntax loses control, loses the clipped evenness, just like the Hate
 * Guides the reader into feeling it as well?
 * DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER – Is this the beginning of the end for Winston?
 * Winston’s epiphany that he has had these thoughts—he does not come up with them here, he’s always had them, but now he realises he does
 * Setting’s really important here—reflective of different ideas, themes
 * Boiled cabbage is a motif for this depressed and disgusting, grim smell
 * Natural vs. unnatural—children control parents, Mrs Parson is worried her children will rat her out like they did her husband
 * She always stops her sentences part way through, worried her kids will twist them?
 * Parsons are “paralysed with stupidity”, but the perfect citizens
 * Descriptions of the animalistic nature of the children show the savagery
 * Even the girl follows her brother, she’s a sheep
 * Tiger cubs, man-eaters = animal imagery
