1984 George Orwell
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever!” From hearing these words from O’Brien, a cold and powerful shiver ran throughout Winston’s frail and distraught body during his initial stages of harsh punishment and severe learning within the depths and boundaries of the dreaded ministry of love because, to change one’s mind is a confession of weakness. While at the merciless hands of O’Brien, a once and trusted friend has now turned out to be his savior, in which he shall cure Winston from the only true crime left in society, Thought Crime. As Ampleforth said “There is only one offence, is there not?”Imagine a world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible, anything which the human mind desires? In the world of 1984 this would be impossible, the world of Oceania is controlled by a vicious and ruthless dictatorship only known as Big Brother, slogans and giant pictures depicting this beast have only a single caption, “Big Brother is watching you” Positioned on just about every street corner and wall available it sends a spine tingling message to all the citizens of Oceania, that Big Brother is watching yo

You will be hollowed. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.” If this is the aim of the party, to drain a person of all experiences which defines us. If there was to be any hope in the overthrow of the party, it lay in the proles not the Inner or Outer party but the proles but it could be years, hundreds even before they were to rise up but the proles must understand first. “Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and after they have rebelled they
