The Two Minutes Hate is a daily ritual performed by the members of the party in the book's dystopian society. During the Two Minutes Hate, the party members watch films of people like Goldstein who are enemies of the Party. They scream in hatred at these people. The purpose of this is to help make the people lose their individuality. They are all supposed to show the same emotions about the same things at the same time. It makes them feel that they and everyone else all feel the same -- and that these feelings are what the Party tells them to have. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team
