English 12

The truth is out there. O'Brien has betrayed our trust - which is certainly our topic, today. We'll start off the class examining why and how we trusted O'Brien through Winston's narration. Once we've had this discussion, we'll do a few questions. Oh - and we'll watch the movie :)

  1. Why does the Party torture and not kill prisoners?
  2. How does Winston view O'Brien's role in his torture?
  3. Analyze how O'Brien exhibits doublethink to Winston.
  4. Is Winston insane? Explain why or why not.
  5. Is the process of doublethink present in our own society?
