Pubs

" It was nearly twenty hours, and the drinking shops which the proles frequented ("pubs," they called them) ..." (Orwell, 84).

Although the Party has tried to destroy any evidence of prior societies, Orwell has just showed the readers that they were not completely successful. "Pub" is a word that has been used for hundreds of years and that continues to be used today. If the proles still call the drinking shops "pubs", then there is still some people who remember the days before the Party. Pub is a slang word for public house, which shows the reader that there are still community centers for the general public.

Rebel

" Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious" ( Orwell, 70).

Conscious is defined as "perceiving, apprehending, or noticing with a degree of controlled thought or observation". Not only is Orwell saying that the Proles have no information, but that they don't really know how to think or react to their surroundings. This passage is also informing the reader that the chances of a rebellion are slim to none because of the proles ignorance.

Proles

" If there is hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated" (Orwell, 69).

Because of the inner parties complete control and observation of the outer party, a revolution could not be generated in the outer party without getting detected. This means that if this society will ever be destroyed, it must come from the sect with the least amount of information and, perhaps, the least motive. The Proles are the class that the Party is overlooking, and also may be their undoing. Orwell is also linking our culture to his novels in this passage. Whenever great change happens in our world, it is usually caused by a revolution of the middle or lower classes, begging for change.

Isolation

" Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?" (Orwell, 59).

One of the ways the Party has been able to keep absolute power is by keeping everyone isolated from each other and the world around them. The Party has left little room for people to come together and discuss their questions and ideas. By doing this, the Party has wiped out almost all ways for people to realise that the Party is doing a terrible injustice.

Newspeak

"The Ministry of Truth-Minitrue, in Newspeak..." (Orwell, 4).

The Party has so much control of its people that they are now speaking one language. this is interesting because Europe has always been a place of variety and of different cultures. The countries of Europe almost all speak a different language then their Neighbor. Orwell has taken away the variety of languages to emphasise that the Party is making everyone as identical as possible.

London

" Everything had been different back then. Even the names of the countries, and their shapes on the map, had been different. Airstrip One, for instance, had not been so called in those days: it had been called England or Britain, though London, he felt fairly certain, had always been called London" (Orwell, 32).

It is interesting that although the Party had the power to wipe out the entire map of the world when they came into power, they either couldn't make people forget London's name or they wanted to keep it. London has been known for hundreds and hundreds of years as one of man kinds most powerful places. It has outlasted change and invasion longer then most countries on today's map. Orwell could of had the Party keep London because of its Worldly importance and because he is trying to say that they do not have all of the control in their society.

Youth Leagues

" A handsome, tough-looking boy of nine had popped up from behind the table and was menacing him with a toy automatic pistol, while his small sister, about two years younger, made the same gesture with a fragment of wood. Both of them were dressed in the blue shorts, gray shirts, and red neckerchiefs which were the uniform of the Spies" (Orwell, 22).

In Nazi Germany, there were clubs for both girls (German Girls League) and boys (Hitler Youth) that made children become loyal members of the Nazi Party. Orwell is drawing another connection between the Nazi Party and the Party described in his novel. This makes the reader think of the Party in the context of the Nazi's and also helps Orwell push that the Party is not good.
