First 88 Pages of "1984": Governmental Structure

In Orwell's 1984, the government is very invasive into making sure everyone follows the rules and that the government is always right. For example, the use of telescreens that pick up video and sound in every building is a complete violation of privacy only in place to protect the government from rebellion against The Party. If this weren't enough, Big Brother even uses the Ministry of Truth to rewrite incorrect statements made by the government in order to keep a sense of artificial trust with the citizens. However, this causes the government to substitute the truth for lies. Winston is one of the few people left who can still even distinguish the truth from the lies.
