In this essay‚ I will express how the Party tries to gain control through the Ministry of Truth by three means: education‚ news‚ entertainment and the fine arts. The Ministry of Truth weakens the people through education‚ especially

The characterisation of the children and how they would be willing to

“War is Peace‚ Freedom Is Slavery‚ Ignorance is Strength.” This is the renowned slogan for the Party which is restated throughout the novel 1984. This phrase is extremely contradictory and makes no logical sense‚ which is the concept of Doublethink. The Party uses Doublethink to control the citizens of Oceania.

The AntiHero In the book 1984‚ I believe that Winston is a perfect example of an antihero. At first glance he doesn’t seem like it in the least‚ but he is. He has many flaws‚ physical and mental concerning the ulcer in his leg and how he crumples under pressure. He seems fairly normal as a middle age man who sits at home in his small flat‚ what makes him special is his brains. He is insanely clever‚ smart‚ and quite an observer. Throughout reading this novel so far‚ I have come to notice that
