Chapter 3 / Nineteen Eighty-Four by G. Orwell One of the threads presented in this chapter was 'doublethink'. I'm not sure if I understood it correctly but I try to briefly explain it. Doublethink is a way of thinking occuring in minds of people living in Oceania. It is accepting contrary statements, believe that both of them are true, even though the logic deny it. People need to consciously choose what statement should be true in which situation but at the same time they need to do be unconscious of the fact what are the doing, that they use doublethink. While Winston is thinking about doublethink and the past, he is also doing morning excercises. The exercises are conducted by an instructress on the telescreen. Suddenly she is speaking by surname to our main character to excercise better at the same time reminding the reader that the main character is always watched. After reading this scene, I understood clearly that having special facial expressions in front of the telescreen is a necessity (not a hypochondria ;-)) and that people need to be focused in front of it to not make something that is not considered proper.
