- 3877: The Repressive Governments of Zamiatin's We and Orwell's 1984
- ... despotism. The most noticeable way that Newspeak alters the public's perception of reality is through the use of an intentional distortion of truth known in Oceania as Doublethink. Doublethink, immortalized in phrases such as "War is Peace", "Freedom is Slavery", and "Ignorance is Strength", serves as a foundation upon which the government of Oceania can selectively change history and reality by convincing the population that history is what Oceania says ... it is (Bloom 147). "Even the names of the four Ministries by which they are governed exhibit a sort of impudence in their deliberate reversal of the facts. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises ... distant and detached from our perception of reality, how close really are we? Like in We, many people live and die by their schedules which must be followed to the most minute detail. During World War II, our own government, the supposed bastion of freedom, detained thousands of Japanese- American citizens simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. Americans are required to have We-like Social Security ...

- ... is full of doubts and fears. He is like a stallion that has been pampered too much, a child who is allowed to get everything he wants. Because of his attitude, he starts the Trojan War and brings on the fall of Troy. Paris is portrayed in this passage as being a walking contradiction. He appears to be a hero, but is one of the causes of the war because he kidnapped Helen for his own selfish interests. Homer uses the contradictions in Paris’ behavior to suggest the ironic contrasts in his character. For example, in line 40, after seeing his formidable opponent Atrides ... In this quote, Hector is highlighting Paris’ ability to ruin virtually everyone’s future. After all, Hector’s comment suggests, he is not only an unrepentant heartbreaker, but also a self-centered catalyst for the war. Hector specifically describes Paris as “appalling” and, in another ironic twist, juxtaposes this idea with Paris’s unofficial title as the reigning “prince of beauty.” This contradiction allows these apparently unlike ideas to be ...
