Content: 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.

“Momentum is the driving force of a novel, the factor that encourages or impels the reader to turn the pages and follow through to the end.” Through the use of narrative devices such as dialogue, motif and setting momentum is achieved. George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ is based on a totalitarian society in Oceania. Orwell has used many narrative devices to attain momentum, specifically in Chapter 1 during the Two Minutes Hate. Two Minutes Hate is a daily ritual in which the citizens of Oceania take place in.
