Plotbun: On 1984 and the limits of Newspeak
Orwell thought that killing language is killing thought, that if you remove the words for dissent from people’s vocabulary, they will be unable to conceptualize dissent at all. And that’s not entirely untrue, but I think he underestimates human capacity for irony and humour and being a little shit, which are not noble qualities, and thus are base enough to survive under torture. And if the system destroys language itself, then its downtrodden citizens will be little shits in a broken language. You can stop people from revolting, but you can’t stop them griping and whining very quietly, especially not if they are only ever complaining about the weather and their health.
Orwell thinks that if there is no language to disparage the Big Brother, then only the nonsensically blasphemous yell of ‘Big Brother ungood’ remains. He cannot imagine the spectacle of people talking over a kitchen table in a cramped flat on the fifteenth floor of a run-down plattenbau, or after class in a badly ventilated schoolroom, or even huddled over their half-cups of soup in a miserable prison camp, looking to the sky in a grand show of devotion and declaring ‘Big Brother doubleplusgood!’ They hear each other, and they know what they are saying. I am unhungry, one of them says. Another is already giggling. I am warm and glad, says a third, wearing all three jumpers she owns. I am whole, says the old one, his hand mangled in a factory accident that never happened and nobody talks about. I thank Big Brother, continues the first, Big Brother plusgood! Oh, Big Brother doubleplusgood, sigh the others, bitter and broken and very unalone.
