Questioning Sanity- does complying or resisting the party make you insane?
by Anna Straus
Lunatic & Lunacy
Insane & Insanity
Party-Compliant
a grimacing, screaming LUNATIC
whether he himself was a LUNATIC
Perhaps a LUNATIC was simply a minority of one.
if alone, then a LUNATIC
thought of being a LUNATIC did not greatly trouble him
a LUNATIC impulse took hold of him
even the LUNATIC project of renting the room
the LUNATIC credulity which the Party needed
LUNATIC dislocation in the mind
you preferred to be a LUNATIC
a LUNATIC intensity
the LUNATIC enthusiasm
against the LUNATIC who is more intelligent than you
Party Resistant
resembles my own mind except that you happen to be INSANE
he was an INSANE screaming animal
both of them knew it was LUNACY
O'Brien had tortured him to the edge of LUNACY
who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his LUNACY
Mad & Madness
he knew
better than before that he was not MAD
Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you MAD
if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you
were not MAD
could it be true that O'Brien was MAD?
It must be he, Winston, who was MAD
MAD arguments with which O'Brien would demolish him
The faint, MAD gleam of enthusiasm had come back into O'Brien's face
At one time it had been a sign of MADNESS to believe that the earth goes round the sun
it was MADNESS of course
more of everything except disease, crime, and INSANITY
the prevailing mental condition must be controlled INSANITY
Deranged & Delusioned
You are mentally DERANGED
the greater the understanding, the greater the DELUSION
you had a very serious DELUSION
