Book 2 themes and language

Bood 2 symbols

Clock- Winston and Julia always think they have more time than they do. The clock is on it’s own time, and isn’t following the rest of the clocks in society. Winston and Julia are like the clock because they are on their own time and they are following the clock that isn’t the same as the rest of the clocks in the society.

Paperweight- Symbolizes Winston’s and Julia’s relationship. It’s a symbol of their own little world and place. The coral was Julia’s life. When they get caught, the paper weight gets smashed just like their relationship did at that same moment.

The singing Prole woman- The song is a sad song, but when she sings it, she makes it sound pretty. It represents that Julia’s and Winston’s relationship was always hopeless, as well as the idea of a new beginning.

Nursery Rhyme about the bells- it represents churches which represents the lower class, and Winston thinks that the lower class are going to be the ones to rebel against the government and overthrow it. The rhyme is Big Brother saying that the rebel and overthrow of the government is never going to happen.

Laws protect Freedom: We think that the Law protects either yourself and your safety, or other people from what you are going to do, and not necessarily your freedom, because to be free is to do whatever you wish without a penalty. For example you could drive around without wearing a seatbelt if you chose, and not get a fine for it.

What is my greatest fear.

Growing old.
