1108 Words5 Pages
In a key scene during the exposition of the novel 1984, the Party has their Two Minutes of Hate. All of the Outer Party members are violently yelling and releasing their built-up anger. The Party members’ rage is directed towards Goldstein who is the supposed leader of the rebellious group called the Brotherhood. The chosen excerpt is during Winston’s explanation of Two Minutes of Hate and Goldstein’s speech. Orwell establishes the power of blame through the Party’s demonstration of Goldstein and the Brotherhood. Orwell exploits the theme through Winston’s inner monologue about Goldstein during Two Minutes of Hate. One instance is “Winston’s diaphragm was constricted. He could never see the face of Goldstein without a painful mixture of emotion” (Orwell 12.) Winston explains how he was taught to loathe Goldstein. Winston grew up before the Party was in power, but the Party has managed to persuade Winston to instinctually fear and hate Goldstein.
