Describe the relationship between external conflict and internal conflict in 1984.

*Theme statement example: An oppressive society leads to conflict between individuals, instigated by internal conflict.

1. Book two tests handed back, review answers.
2. Discuss chapters 8-10 of book two (O'Brien, the Brotherhood, rebellion).
3. Prepare for WAQ - Find a min. of 10 quotations that illuminate the following relationship:

The State (Big Brother) --> psychological warfare (fear, control, memory loss, propaganda) --> conflict between individuals (Winston vs. Parsons/Syme/Katharine) --> Inner conflict (Winston vs. himself).

A primary theme of 1984 is the power of the state and consequential degradation of the individual. Counter this with the inner conflict Winston experiences and the conflict between individuals. How are they related?  Think about individualism and rebellion - how characters express both in their own ways. Winston/Julia (rebel), Parsons/Syme (conform). O'Brien cannot be studied fully until you finish the novel.

2. Homework: Finish reading BOOK TWO (chapters 9 and 10). Answer the following questions and be prepared to discuss tomorrow:
Chapter 8
1. How Winston so easily accepts O’Brien as a political conspirator is a problem for readers who accept his intelligence and intuitiveness. Analyze the reasons for Winston’s willingness to believe in O’Brien. What details imply that O’Brien is not what he seems?
2. Discuss the implications of the recurring phrase “place where there is no darkness,” versus O’Brien’s statement that Winston will “always be in the dark.”
Chapter 9

2. What is Julia’s interest in the book? In view of the way Orwell has developed her character, are you
surprised by her reaction? Why or why not?
Chapter 10

How does the sight and sound of the prole woman affect Winston? Why does Winston believe that the future lies with the proles?

- Of what is Winston afraid? What is the significance of Winston's changing appearance?
2. Homework: Read up to and including chapter 8 (to p. 179).
Points to consider as you read:
- In many respects, O'Brien is the most important character in the novel, although at this point Orwell has not characterized whim with the same depth as either Winston or Julia. On what pretense does O'Brien approach Winston? What inferences suggest that O'Brien might be less than honest? What concrete evidence does Winston have that a Brotherhood does exist?
- What is foreshadowed by the chilling sensation Winston feels as he talks with O'Brien Besides fear, what other emotions might have provoked these sensations?
- Orwell interweaves the themes of betrayal and hope in this critical chapter (vii). Discuss how Winston has arrived at his conclusion that the hope for the future lies in the proles. What has Winston learned about universal human emotions from his dreams? What believe dominates Winston and Julia's belief that they will not betray one another?
- Analyze the reasons for Winston's willingness to believe in O'Brien. Discuss the implications of the recurring phrase "place whether there is no darkness" versus O'Brien's statement that Winston will "always be in the dark."

- Whom do the boys vote in as chief? Why?

4. Homework: Read Chapter 2.
*Please return Hamlet books*

Points to consider:
- the power of the Party is inescapable; the mustachioed face has a calming, hypnotic effect on the people; it is just as Winston reads in Goldstein's The Theory of Oligarchic Collectivism: "[Big Brother's]function is to act as a focusing point for love, fear and reverence, emotions which are more easily felt toward an individual than towards an organization."
- Anyone who thinks subversive thoughts can be turned in by spies or by Big Brother, who monitors them through highly sensitive, two-way telescreens. For instance, if someone does not have the proper facial expression, they are considered guilty of Facecrime, therefore, all emotions must be carefully guarded.Winston fears he will commit Thoughtcrime by being overheard talking in his sleep.
- Totalitarian Oceania: it seems as if everyone is devoted to Big Brother and believes everything the
government tells them. However, in analyzing Winston’s thoughts, all is not as it seems. Some secretly feel and believe differently from how they behave; but they must be careful not to betray themselves.
- the Party is in control of all information and revises history, even yesterday’s history, to reflect their current version of events. Winston 's job in the inaccurately named Ministry of Truth is to change the records of history, but he cannot ignore what he remembers: Oceania was at war with Eurasia and allied with Eastasia yesterday, and not vice versa

Ex.   Although physical blindness is devastating, spirtual blindess has even broader implications. In John Milton's autobiographical sonnet "On His Blindness," the author contemplates how he has spent his life so far and whether or not he has reached his potential.
        Milton begins his poem "consider[ing] how [his] light is spent" (1). In other words, he is reflecting on his life so far.

Scene i considerations (hints for questions 2-4):
Hamlet ponders the physical aspects of death as he studies Yorick’s skull, graphically describing “those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft.” He wonders whether Alexander the Great’s skull looked and smelled like this one, implying that social class loses any meaning in death. All are returned to dust in the end. This is one example of the numerous ways Hamlet has considered the meaning of life and death throughout the play.While the gravediggers conclude that social class can help a person even in death (Ophelia’s having a Christian burial when she should not), Hamlet concludes that social class becomes meaningless in death, as all who die are subject to decay.

- enough (minimum 3) supporting points/examples that are EXPLAINED
