}"Simple question, Winston.
TWO AND TWO MAKES ________?"
[[FOUR]]
[[FIVE->Big Brother]]**BEGINNING**
--------------
*You know now that for seven years, the Thought Police have watched you like a beetle under a magnifying glass. There was no physical act, no word spoken aloud, that they had not noticed, no train of thought that they had not been able to infer.*
**"I LOVE YOU JULIA!!"**
[[O'Brien approaches->O'Brien 1]]Tell me, Winston - and remember, no lies: you know that I am always able to detect a lie - tell me, what are your true feelings towards Big Brother?
[[I hate him]]
[[I love Big Brother]]No, Winston.
*Who do you love?*
[[I love Big Brother]]This exercise was designed to simulate Winston's experience in the interrogation scene.
Winston is given the appearance of freedom, yet as the scene unfolds, it becomes apparent that Winston has had absolutely no control over his fate.
Everytime Winston is asked questions in the novel's torture scene, he either answers the way that Big Brother wants, or is tortured until he gives the desired answer.
Pay attention to how this concept plays out in Act II of the play, and enjoy the rest of the show!
[[*Restart the quiz for the next participant*->Beginning]]
*'This time, it will not hurt,' he said. 'Keep your eyes fixed on mine*
**ZAP**
[[LET ME ANSWER AGAIN!->2+2]]"Tell me, Winston: what *are* you?" O'Brien asks.
[[I'm a human!]]
[[I'm...filth.->2+2]]"You are a citizen of Oceania, Winston.
Look me in the eyes. What country is Oceania at war with?"
[[*I know this.* 'We're at war with Eurasia.'->Eurasia]]
[['We have always been at war with Eastasia'->What are you?]]"You are a flaw in the pattern, Winston. You are a stain that must be wiped out.
We will convert you, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him.
When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will.
Everything depends on yourself,"
O'Brien said.
[[Okay...->How old is the earth?]]No. You're low, lower than humanity. You are what Big Brother tells you.
[[But...->What are you?]]Ocania is at war with Eastasia. Do you remember that now?'
[[Yes...yes I remember.->Who are we at war with?]]"The earth is as old as humans are, no older."
[[Yes. 'Nothing exists without human consciousness'->Who are we at war with?]]
[[No, it's not. And there's evidence! 'The rocks are full of the bones of extinct animals -- mammoths and mastodons and...'->How do you know it's real?]]Have you seen these bones? How do you know they're real? How do you know we didn't create those replicas?
[[Well...->How old is the earth?]]
