Chapter 2-6

Chapter 2-6

 "WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." (pg. 7)

I think this quote represents how In Oceania you are limited to freedom. In Oceania they take away most of your freedom and make it into war to show peace. Peace that is owned by the party. Another thing that this quote represents is that since war is so common in Oceania, the citizens just see it as normal and peaceful. 

 "'Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"(pg. 32)

The party controls basically everything. Everything that happened in the past, they could change. Same with the present and in the future. They have this privilege because they have the power to control anything.

"Orthodoxy means not thinking--not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" (pg. 47)

The party wants  to trick you into believing something that is not possibly true. They want to brainwash the people into thinking what the party says is right.
