Critical Appriciation of the Two Minuets Hate in 1984

Write a critical appreciation of pages 16-18 in its second uttering a prayer. How does the cardinal proceeding dislike precede to your understanding of the nightmare world in which Winston lives? The two minutes hate is almost a celebration of a cult, a sort of collection of religious fanatics to honour their ruler, outstanding Brother. Orwell uses it to show the tones of anarchy amongst the leaping and cheering tribe and how this would be their only chance to express their human feelings in the nightmare society in which they are forced to live.Winstons dystopian world is displayed in Orwells unsympathetic parody of the two minutes silence in monument of WWII and epitomises the frenzy of emotions, the terror and violent culture that Winston has to tolerate. His elaborate view of religious or political fanatics scrutinises these kinds of obsessions and demonstrates how it can over-power a persons life. Control is one of the main components of the two minutes hate. The people are helpless, they are like that of a set down fish in the robotic machine that is Big Brother.They cannot escape from the voice that continued inexorably and there is no escapism to be had in the frenzy of voices yelling at the screen. This reflects a nightmare that is inescapable until we awake. Winston longs to awaken in a society capable of love, without suffering, moreover it seems he knows that can never arise. The world for Winston is a steady death of altogether good virtues and basic human rights that they are so cruelly being denied, which is shown so clearly through this extract. Winston finds it impossible to avoid association in.This reflects the lack of control he has in any elements of his nightmarish life. The uncorrupted violence of the episode overwhelms Winstons mentality and creates an isolation of his mind to the rest of the sheep and is inescapable. He has the power to rebel, although he submits to a hideous transfer of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer. This juxtaposition of hideousness and ecstasy shows Winstons abhorrence is all towards the party and Big Brother instead of the loathed Goldstein.In Winstons conscious mind he changes into a grimacing, screaming lunatic and is capable of shifting his hate from one object to another. These images are distinctive of a dystopian invigorated and relates to the time of obsession and paranoia that was experienced during World War II, when the novel was written. Winstons hate develops into an inescapable sexual lust for the black haired girl. He describes his desire to remonstrate her to death and how it would be a beautiful sight.This contradiction is Winstons flicker of rebellion against the sinister enchanter that is Big Brother. This introduces the theme of love versus hate, which is explored throughout the rest of the novel. The pointlessness of the hate strikes Winston as we see Winstons weakness he has a perplexed mind that cannot jab the point to the rage inflicted upon Goldstein. The fickleness of the Party members distresses Winston the sandy haired woman shouting what sounded like my Saviour as he seems to accreditedise the stupidity of the frenzy.Orwell contradicts the only of the Partys endeavour to create a perfect world and stamp out all feelings, as his heart went out to the lonely, derided, heretic on the screen. Winston is conveying how he is himself a heretic and rebelling against the beloved Big Brother which we see later in the novel also as Winston recognizes his rebellious potential. This shows his refusal of living in a world of lies.This world epitomises the depression of Winstons nightmare and the society he exists in and at this point, Winston becomes at one with the people about him, his mind is distorted and all that was said of Goldstein seemed to him to be true. Winstons seemingly only flaw it that subconsciously he switches his thoughts from one side to another and it is only the black haired girl who lays bare his real personality and sets him straight. The two minutes hate represents Orwells character and his novel as a whole as we see his hate for the outward expression of human feelings and his ultimate desire for control.We find his detestation of religious extremists on course throughout the novel, which replicates its dark and dystopian themes. He has channelled his hate in to his work and through what may indeed be a type of the author himself, Winstons Character. Every element of hope is lost for Winston during the two minutes hate. This raises our understanding of an embodiment of a nightmare world that hopelessly celebrates a religious cult and its inescapable anarchy, which will ultimately have its retaliate on Winstons mutinous mind.
