PASSAGE RESPONSE During the Two Minutes Hate, “vivid, beautiful hallucinations flashed through [Winston’s] mind. He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon [ . . . .] He would ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax. Better than before moreover, he realized why it was that he hated her. He hated her because she was young and pretty and sexless…there was only the odious scarlet sash, aggressive symbol of chastity” (Orwell 15).
The descriptive language and imagery in this passage is disturbing. It is significant that Winston’s “beautiful hallucination” happens during the Two Minutes Hate because it is exactly the type of response that the Party wants. However Winston’s anger is directed not at the telescreen, but at a woman that to him represents everything the Party has deprived him of. During this Two Minutes Hate, instead of hating Goldstein, Winston hates the Party. (72 words)

Passage Response
Orwell shows how the Party
redirects negative feelings.
During the Two Minutes Hate,
“vivid, beautiful hallucinations
flashed through [Winston’s] mind.
He would flog her to death with a
rubber truncheon [ . . . ] He would
ravish her and cut her throat at the
moment of climax. Better than
before moreover, he realized why
it was that he hated her. He hated
her because she was young and
pretty and sexless [ . . . ] there was
only the odious scarlet sash,
aggressive symbol of chastity”
(Orwell 15).
Point sentence in BLUE!!!
Passage Response
Your point should be about
connecting the Party’s views
on sex (1.6) and the
passage. Set up the passage
(no quote bombs), “their
embrace had been a battle,
the climax a victory. It was a
blow struck against the
Party. It was a political act”
(Orwell 126).
