"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength"
They are the Party slogans, and are written in big letters on the white pyramid of the Ministry of Truth.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
The people controlling the present control everything and can ultimately change the past and, therefore; the future. Big brother controls the present. The slogan is an example of the Party's technique of using false history to deteriorate the psychological independence of its people.

    How Does Winston Controls The Past In 1984

    One of the quotes in the book 1984 was: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The party slogan appeared twice in the book, once in Book One, Chapter III, when Winston was thinking about party’s control and history. The quote also appeared once in Book Three, Chapter II, when Winston talked to O’Brien about nature of the past when he was a prisoner in the Ministry of Love. It is significant to the book because the quote portrays the totalitarian government. Having control of the past secures control of the future and if the past was perfect, citizens would try to maintain that glorious past. Likewise, the Party had control of the present. For example, every history book praised Party ideology,…

    1. This section is obviously describing a single person, yet this person constantly refers to himself as we. His body, legs, and head which are solely his are described as ours. It makes me wonder what society/world he is living in because the way a person speaks is also the way their neighbors and family speak, so there has to be a reason . The back of the book says that this world takes place in the future, but that confuses me because the cave he is in is being lit by a candle.…

    Abuse Of Power In George Orwell's 1984

    One of the main questions of the novel 1984 is could Big Brother fall. There are many possibilities that contribute to the thought of the fall of Big Brother. Such as the way Big Brother pushes people around like Winston to make them want to rebel. One proven fact in history is that most totalitarian governments do not last such as Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union. The fact they are always at war with one of the other main super powers. "But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? The proles themselves if realized their power could overthrow the party.…

    1984 Swot Analysis

    Goldstein says, “It governs so inefficiently that the masses are stirred to revolt.” In this case the eventual fall of Big Brother will be due to its inability to efficiently control its people, because of the years of invasive and tyrannical behavior of the ThoughtPolice on behalf of the Party. Ingsoc ideology entails Ignorance is Strength which is essential to maintaining dominance over the proles and outer party members, but overtime no matter how much brainwashing and propaganda is used people will still realize the shortcomings of Big Brother and attempt to overthrow the Party. According to the idea War is Peace consistent war will help to maintain peace around the globe and within Oceania society. Citizens of Oceania will realize the lunacy of such ideology and the inconsistencies associated with wartime on behalf of the Party. The proles and outer party members will become judgmental and question the ethics and honesty of the party eventually leading to a revolt due to the Party’s inefficiency to run a proper government on behalf of the people as opposed to on behalf of the inner party members. Once all these ideologies proposed by Ingsoc come crashing down it will open a gateway for revolution against Big Brother and the demise of Big Brother and the Party as a…

    Manipulation In 1984

    In 1984, George Orwell is quick to establish the totalitarian Big Brother as an omnipresent frontman to the oligarchy that is the Party. These figures are both constructed to be omnipotent; they demonstrate this power by distorting history, human nature, and the individual’s very singularity at a whim. This deception proves that manipulation is a powerful tool used in the assertion of dominance and for imposing conformity. "Everything faded into mist. The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth” (75).…
