Content: The beauty of 1984 is that the more you read it the more you pick up and understand. George uses interesting ways of symbolizations between the characters in the book to grasp the reader’s attention. During the two minute hate Winston becomes aware of a girl who is yelling out “Swine! Swine! Swine!” and throws the newspeak book at the telescreen. Winston, however, feels an immense hatred towards the ‘Dark haired girl’ as he is tricked to believe she is yelling at Goldstein when actually she is yelling Swine at Big Brother. It is only later in the book where Winston meets Julia (the dark haired girl) does he discover she hates the party. George carries out momentum in the book when he explains everyone’s hatred towards Goldstein however what most grabs the readers attention is when he mentions “but what was strange was that although Goldstein was hated and despised by everybody, although everyday, and a thousand times a day, on platforms, on the telescreen, in newspapers, in books, this theories were refuted, smashed ridiculed, held up to the general gaze for the pitiful rubbish that they were- in spite of all of this, his influence never seemed to grow less. Always there were fresh dupes waiting to be seduced by him” (page 16) The irony in that paragraph provokes readers emotions and thoughts and assists in questioning them why people love Goldstein when Big Brother tells them otherwise, this makes the readers keep reading.
