The tyranny is epitomised by Big Brother, the Party againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely who enjoys an intense cult of againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely but who may not even exist. The Party "againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely power entirely for its own sake. It is not againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely in the good of others; it is interested againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely in power." The protagonist of the novel, Winston Smith, is a againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely of the Outer Party, who works againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely the Ministry of Truth, which is responsible for propaganda and historical againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely. His job is to rewrite past newspaper articles, so that the againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely record always supports the party line. The againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely that the workers receive specify the corrections as fixing misquotations and againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely as what they really are: forgeries and againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely. A large part of the ministry also actively againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely all documents that have been edited and do not againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely the revisions; in this way, no proof exists that the againstcontaindestroysfalsificationsforgovernmenthistoricalindependentinstructionsinterestedlanguageleadermembernevernovelperpetualpersonalitypoliticalprivilegedprovincerevisionismsecretlyseekssetsolely is lying.
