seems that democracy -- government for the people, by the people -- is the answer. Throughout the whole book the idea that the proles, i.e. the masses, are the only hope is repeated over and over. It is, as Winston surmises and O’Brien later confirms, the essential truth of Goldstein’s book. This is a pretty obvious reference to democracy; in a true democratic state, the proles would have the most power, as they comprise eighty-five per cent of the population of Oceania. Power becomes corrupted…

by George Orwell various methods of propaganda are used to control the Party members and Proles of Oceania. The main type of propaganda used in 1984 is a glittering generality, “WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” (Orwell) glittering generalities have positive implications and are valued in society. Another type of propaganda used in the book is bandwagon hate. All Party members and Proles are taught to hate Emmanuel Goldstein, Eurasia, and Eastasia, each day Oceania…

re-learn by conscious effort." Nevertheless, they had lost their conscious mental existence. The proles have individual lives, they have families and friends and preferences which are not held in strict check by the Party, and yet they are kept stupid and useless involving themselves in petty quarrels over saucepans and irrelevant, frivolous concerns.

Big Brother is a symbolic character who uses abusive tactics of extreme communism and fascism. Big Brother is a dominant figure in this story that controls the people of Oceania in Air Strip One. Techniques used on inner and outer party members and proles by Big Brother are slogans which also show doublethink. He also uses propaganda and mind techniques to persuade people of Oceania to believe that everything Big Brother does is right, making it easier for his government to take control. One…

) Chapter seven starts with Smith writing in his journal about how he believes that if there were to be a revolution it would be in the hands of the proles to inaugurate. It goes then to him looking through a children 's history book and reading how the Party claims to have improved living situations drastically since the war, which Smith interprets as false information, although he has no actual proof, besides the fact that the ‘ideal cities’ they allegedly created are actually decaying and…

In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, one man by the name of Winston is caught in what seems to be a human drive to escape the power of Big Bother as he wonders why the government works behind closed doors and separates in different ministries such as the ministry of love, peace, plenty, and truth.
