1984 #7

“Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad” (pg. 217). Orwell creates a world where communism is brought to the ultimate extreme. Communism is a form of government where individualistic ideas are eliminated. Everyone works for everyone. In a time where people were fearful of communism, Orwell created 1984 to ensure that people realize its affects. Winston understands that communism is wrong, and is the minority for these thoughts. This delves into the idea that the minority is not always wrong, no matter how small it is.
