Group Two Book Club Four

What is the relevance of Winston's paperweight getting smashed?

What is the meaning of the slogan "War is Peace"?

Were you surprised that O'Brien and Mr. Charrington betrayed Winston?

  1. I think the meaning of the slogan, "War is Peace", is really just The Party just wants to confuse the citizens and brainwash them in to thinking that violence with other countries is peace. I guess it would eventually create peace between two countries, it is a brutal way of getting there but they have all the citizens believing that war is always a great thing.

    1. I agree, adding on, the slogan is used to say that if there is no war there is no peace. The Party is saying that even though there may be a constant war, everyone is behaving in a peaceful way which is very ironic. This slogan is simply implying the power The Party has over their people, they can manipulate them to anything they want as Becca had said above.

    2. I agree this slogan is used to confuse the people into trying to rebels so they could punish the people.
