In 1984, the party gains power through manipulation. The party uses doublethink, citizens consciously accept everything the party tells them, even if it contradicts their own thoughts about something they already know. For example, the party rewrites history to show that its lies are true. When Winston remembers that Oceania had an alliance with Eurasia, he thinks the party lied because they are stating otherwise to the public. The party's way centers on "if all documents said the same thing, then the lie would pass into history and become truth" (Orwell 34). In this situation, Winston is a victim of the party's actions because he knew the lie and still believed it because he has no choice to disagree. This shows that even a lie can become reality. Newspeak The party used war to maintain control over its people and continue manipulation. The way the war worked for the party was to keep Big Brother in charge, by creating an enemy that seemed evil, causing the finger to be pointed elsewhere than Big Brother and the party. It also helped create a better view of society, as if it was better than that of the enemy. This helped to keep people in line with respect to the distribution of goods and to maintain control, "the main aim of modern warfare...is to exhaust the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living" ( Orwell 188). War is necessary for the party to maintain control over its people and succeed in creating totalitarianism. Ultimately, Winston betrays Julia because of his tortured experience and the two characters having different goals also influenced their betrayals. Julia was young and didn't care about the future of the Party and the only reason she favored Winston's views was for selfish reasons like personal pleasure. It is easier for Julia to betray Winston because she is not for rebellion against the party for the same reasons. Winston however was truly for the rebellion against the Party and for Julia because he believed she was too. Winston's experience with torture was the reason for his betrayal of Julia and was influenced by his goal of opposing the Party. However, he was only doing what the Party wanted him to do, which was to love no one but Big Brother. This is explained when Winston analyzed the actions of the Party, “permission was always refused if the couples concerned gave the impression of being physically attracted to each other” (Orwell 65). Being in love is not just a feeling, but besides love, it is showing physical affection, the Party did not believe in this. This reveals how Winston betrays Julia by calling her out for torture, because he no longer cares about her safety and that's what the Party wants. However, it can be assumed that this was inevitable because I don't believe their love was genuine. The two only used each other to feel the human connection that society was missing and Winston admired the idea they shared.
