Raam's Chapter Summary

Part II- Chapter V

  • As Winston expected, Syme ceases to exist with his records completely vanished.
  • As preparation for Hate Week continues the theme-song “Hate Song” is repeatedly played through the telescreens. The decorations including banners, streamers, paintings and a new poster of a typical Eurasian soldier posted around all of London.
  • The Proles surprisingly despised the war as bombs were continuously killing vast amount of people.
  • Winston constantly thinks about the room above Mr Charrington’s shop where he meets Julia many times in that one month and discusses with her their future plans together.
  • Winston continues to tell Julia of his odd affection for O’Brien and the brotherhood, however she believes that the Brotherhood was created by the Party to give the people something to believe in. She neglects many of the primary ideas that Winston stands for against the party and argues that she only cares for the present time and not the future generations.

Quotes

  • “Your only a rebel from the waist downwards”- referring to Julia that her sexual acts are the only acts that make her rebellious against the party.
  • “Do you realise that the past, starting from yesterday, has been abolished?”- Emphasises the Party’s power to alter and erase parts of history to make it flawless and perfect.
