1984 Chapter 3

Chapter 3

1. The first paragraph of the chapter references the "purges of the 50's." Use the internet to research "the purges in Russia." Based on your findings, what do you suppose happened in Oceania?

2. Why does Winston not wear pajamas?

3. Winston reflects: "If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened -- that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death? " Do you agree? Why or why not?

4. What does the term 'Ingsoc' mean?

5. What question or questions do you have about 1984 from reading this far?
