1984 Quiz

The excerpt I have chosen from 1984 explains the need or wanting for advancements in Newspeak, pages 45 through 46. We're getting the language into it's final shape-the shape it's going to have when nobody speaks anything else (Orwell 45). In this quote we see that Syme, Winston's comrade,  is justifying that Newspeak is to be the only language. In this quote we also see that the author is giving the character Syme a passsion for Newspeak and is enjoying the destruction of words. The author uses the quote to show that in this world the language is to be grown to be the only one used by people. Don't you see that the whole aim for Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it (Orwell 46). In this quote we see that Syme is viewing Newspeak as a good thing and wants it to keep advancing because he follows the idea of Big Brother and agrees and doesn't go against it. The author placed a character in the book that follows on with Big Brother to give Winston more of a challenge on hiding his thoughts because he has committed thoughtcrime and he knows his fellow commrade would be gladly to report him to the thoughtpolice.
