Momentum is the heart of the novel and without Orwell’s brain you wouldn’t continue flicking pages in 1984. The two minute hate, in which you first read about on page 16, is a daily telescreen viewing that specializes in various elements of crimethink that are packaged into a parade of horrible images and sounds, which viewers are expected to release negative emotions upon. The two minute hate as George explained in the book “was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in.” ( Page 17) The hate was a way of brainwashing people. Imagine your sitting in a pub and your watching a game of football everyone is supporting the side that is wining. As part of human nature you will either follow everyone else or leave. This is what the two minute hate was based on, because everyone else was yelling at Goldstein, Winston was then obliged to follow. George uses many narrative devices placed intricately throughout the book. Setting plays a very large roll in the book 1984 as George Orwell uses very descriptive words to capture the reader’s attention. George describes everyone in the room as “the self-satisfied sheep like face” which can be related back to Big Brother having such a sense of control over everyone, as sheep always stay in one group and follow one ruler.
