In Newspeak, words are deliberately eliminated to restrict communication and prevent the expression of ideas that oppose the party's ideology. One of the words that is eliminated is "science." Therefore, the statement "There is no word for science in Newspeak" is true, as it aligns with the principles of the language and the government's desire to suppress scientific knowledge and critical thinking.

The Outer Party members are responsible for the administrative and bureaucratic tasks that maintain the oppressive regime.

    O'Brien uses a treatment on Winston that temporarily blocks out part of his memory. This means that Winston's ability to recall certain events or information is temporarily impaired or erased. This could be a form of psychological manipulation and control, as it creates a sense of confusion and disorientation in Winston's mind.

This means that Winston must first learn about the Party's ideology and principles, then understand them fully, and finally accept them without question or resistance. Acceptance is the final stage where Winston gives up his rebellious thoughts and submits to the Party's control. This is a significant moment as it represents the complete transformation of Winston's mindset and his ultimate defeat.

This implies that the book may have been a collaborative effort, possibly reflecting the ideology and propaganda of the Party.

In the novel "1984" by George Orwell, rats are used as a tool of torture and manipulation by the Party. They represent the ultimate betrayal and destruction of Winston's identity and sanity. The fear of rats also reflects the pervasive atmosphere of fear and surveillance created by Big Brother, making it a potent symbol of the oppressive regime.

By reducing the vocabulary and altering the meaning of words, the Party aims to restrict independent thinking and ensure complete loyalty to the regime. The ultimate goal is to have complete control over the minds of the people, making them incapable of questioning or rebelling against the Party's ideologies.
