Thoughtcrime

After reading George Orwell's novel, 1984... My reactions are in a sense of doublethink.

(Spoiler Alert)

My first thoughts and reactions can be considered thoughtcrime:

Making a language that has its words lessened every time to eliminate ambiguity is doubleplusungood.

Winston is doubleplusungood, or probably tripleplusungood. What he did.

Why.

Last sentence of the book: "He loved Big Brother."

Why.

Winston and Julia... It wasn't love at all.

Why.

The anticlimax. Rats.

Why.

What is two plus two? Four. *tunes up needle of zapping torture* What is two plus two? Four. *increases voltage of zapping torture*

Why.

Four fingers are not five fingers. Never.

Why.


However, after delving deeper to the ideas discussed, I find this book awesome, even better than the Divergent series.
