Below are the various tweets I tweeted while reading George Orwell's 1984. Did I just break the Blogosphere? Maybe!
"What you say or do doesn't matter; Only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you - that would be the real betrayal." -1984
I'm really dissapointed with Orwell's flashback use here: "Winston is in jail. He was in another jail before that. It was bad." #1984
"Parsons used the lavatory, loudly and abundantly." some things just cant be glossed over... #1984 In this latest sequence - the torture chamber - O'Brien enters as the last-minute, single most quotable character in George Orwell's "1984"#notetoself Symbols in 1984: Coral Paperweight symbolizes the safe bubble-world W&J build, & past that allows for frivolity Big Brother is a symbol for the Party regime, also for control over truth (is immortal, never seen), mystery of party rulership, (TBC) Also, BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING. Always. Telescreens symbolize the same. Combine monitoring w/ propaganda - technology monopoly & Abuse Memory Holes represent the entire principle of Doublethink & the mutability of the past - name reflects contradiction as they destroy facts "The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now." - O'Brein the Diabolical, 1984 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." - O'Brein the Incredibly Quotable, 1984, page 220 Just finished 1984. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh.
