How does O'Brien shape the experiences of others?
Winston
Kills Winston's ability to think-Individualism
“Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiousity, or courage, or integrity (...) We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves”
O'Brien thereby confirms the eradication of Winstons Thought and Individualism
The removal of an individual from society will be imminent
“You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history...nothing will remain of you; not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain...you will never have existed.” (pg. 291)
Instilling a sense of hopelessness to break Winston down and maintain the party’s collectivist ideology
Some things in the past never existed
“Only the disciplined mind can see reality Winston p285
O'Brien influences and infiltrates Winston's memories by creating propaganda-like memories, which benefit himself and the party
The Collective
Loyalty only to the state
“We have cut the links between man and woman, no one dares trust a wife or a child or friends any longer.”
"Cut" conveys that those who do not support the Party like Winston are ultimately alone within society
Dehumanisation of the individual
“One literally never saw them except in the guise of prisoners”
The oppression of the inferior within society as apart of Totalitarianism views. (but who are the infeirior??
Julia
Freedom of love
“ All her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly, her dirty-mindedness- everything had been burned out of her.” pg 29
Power and mind manipulation by O'Brien indoctrinate Julia (and Winston) to believe there is no such thing as true love
Submission to party
“Whatever the party holds to be truth, is truth” (p285)
O'Brien manipulation of the 'true' truth-Who rules holds the truth
