Content: "As though to harmonise with the general mood, the rocket bombs had been killing larger numbers of people than usual" (p.156). The reader may infer that the Party is actually behind the bombings rather than Eurasia. The Party would inflict such suffering on its own people for the sake of creating fear and anxiety which inevitably leads to anger, hatred and violence againt a perceived enemy. Hate Week in general would have the effect of directing people's focus of their hardships and suffering in daily life onto a common enemy (who is largely unseen). This is of course to the Party's advantage. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team
