end of goldstein stuff :)

" A party member is expected to have no private emotions and no respites from enthusiasm. He is supposed to live in a continuous frenzy of hatred of foreign enemies and internal traitors, triumphs over victories, and self- abasement before the power and wisdom of the Party" (211).

This quote shows how a typical party member should act. This shows how much control this party has for rules. Like in our society, the party's rules for its member is like a sports team. The captains have a rule over the other members, but they all have to follow this rule made by the coach. The system shows how the people in the Inner and Outer Party should represent themselves as. The expectations of the member is relevant for the fact of how the slogan "War is Peace" is stated. It shows that the same feelings towards the other places is shown through the members rulebook.

intermittently: stopping or ceasing for a time; alternately ceasing and beginning again

cynicism: cynical disposition, character, or belief.
