.... environment that Orwell observed in 1948. Perhaps people would be more comftorble with the book if they could rule out in their minds the possibility of the profecy becoming a reality. In a critique of his own work, Orwell called Nineteen Eighty-Four “A work of a future terrible [sic] because it rests on a fiction and can not be substantiated by reality or truth. “ But perhaps this future is realizing itself more than Orwell thought it would.

At this particular point in the novel, the narrator is just getting into the Brotherhood and is about to take part in his first rally with his brothers.

.... men should be stoic, stable, and independent. Boys are not to share their pain or grief openly. Also this code says the boys should be daring and do risky behaviors. The most traumatizing code is the fact that boys should not express feelings which might be mistakenly as “feminine” –dependence, warmth, and empathy.

.... fur. As she does so she thinks she hears something crying. Her life is so inauthentic, made up of second hand gossip, and second hand furs, that she’s incapable of recognizing the true origin of her tears, which of course, is her grief and humiliation. She has never before seen herself as “odd, silent, and… just come from a dark little room or even-even a cupboard!” Her world is essentially lived in a shell and almost in seclusion. It is more natural for her to believe the crying comes from the fox’s glass eyes than from her own desolate eyes. Like all of us, she has hopes and dreams, particularly of being on .....
