Part 1

[1] The three groups that make up Oceania are the Inner Party, the Outer Party, and the Proles. The Inner Party consists of the rich people and political figures of Oceania, and they are more privileged than those in the Outer Party and the Proles. The Outer Party can be compared to the middle class, but they are the servants of the Inner Party and the everyday workers, who are under constant surveillance. The Proles are the lower class who have no rights and are “free,” but do not have the same access to resources that the Outer Party has.

[2] The “Two Minutes Hate” is a program that is played across the telescreens daily and the people are allowed to voice their opinion towards the opposition, or resistance. If the …show more content…

    Having eliminated all bonds of human connection between individuals, the Party intended that ‘the sex instinct will be eradicated… neurologists shall abolish the orgasm’ where the high modal declaration depicts the frightening measures imposed by the administration to prevent revolution. Thus, the relationship between Winston and Julia serves as an outlet of instinct but is also an expression of rebellion against the status quo: ‘their embrace had been a battle… It was a political act.’   Further, the ‘glass paper weight’ motif serves as a reminder of the past, a beacon of hope but in the arrest shatters, signifying defeat to the state.
