Nineteen Eighty-Four (Response to the idea of independence and loyalty …

- - - - They shape their citizens to believe that the party is all that is right
        
        “We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.”
    - - According to the party, they are accurate, and are the better choice
    - - People can only think what the party tells them
        
        They can't really think for themselves
        
        This theme comes up during Winston's torture where he tells O'Brien that he can not tell Winston what to do as he is a man who can think for himself
        
        I believe we should always be able to give our thoughts about something, and not be controlled by dictators
  - - - im actually in love with this colour omgomgomgomg
  - - - Has the situation been so bad that people can't even think for themselves?
      - Stripping away the idea of being able to think is honestly horrifying and disgusting
- - - - The Party sees and hears practically everything to keep people from planning things such as rebelling.
    - - The dangers of totalitarianism on society and individuality
        
        Security and personal rights taken away

        Different types of love
        
        A mother's love for her children
        
        Julia and Winston's love
        
        This was used as a way to rebel, even if it died in the end
        
        This is kind of shown in our real world too where apps such as tinder are used to match with other people mainly for sex, and taking away the notion of what love truly is
        
        It removes what true love used to be, about knowing the other person, rather than having sex with strangers
      - “Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”
    - - Interferes with the right "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks." The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This shows how they are controlling and taking away rights.
