Topics
Orwell coins many new words in the novel, which he describes as 'Newspeak'.
The majority of the citizens ('the proles') are routinely deceived and swindled by a small minority of party members.
Party members' lives are more disciplined, so for example they are expected to attend the daily "2 minutes of hate" session during which they focus on enemy images.
