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)

doublethink, but the definition still must be in

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).

Write between 60-80

words for EACH entry.

o Do not just summarize

or paraphrase the

passage please.

o Don’t forget the word

count!

1. Describe the festivities surrounding Hate

Week. What is the purpose of Hate Week?

2. What does Winston mean when he tells Julia

that she is “only a rebel from the waist

downwards?” Hint: this is not necessarily dirty.

Focus on Julia’s belief system and how she

views her rebellion (pgs 152-155).

2.5 goes on the back of 2.2.
