Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The population can be divided into three groups, The Outer Party, The Inner Party and the Proles. According to Winston, with which group does the hope of freedom lie?

Answer: The Proles

The Proles are the masses, the Outer Party is the workers and the Inner Party is the privileged.

2. As a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League, Julia wears which color of sash around her waist as their emblem?

Answer: Scarlet

Quite ironic really, that scarlet is a colour associated with passion and the scarlet sash representing chastity.

3. Syme, an aquaintance of Winston's who is eventually 'vaporised', works in the Outer Party in which specialist job?

Answer: A philologist in the Research Department

A philologist is a specialist in Newspeak. One of the scariest aspects of the book, and the project Syme is working on, is the destruction of words. One day no one will have the language capability to be able to express rebelliousness towards Big Brother.

4. Winston is often refered to as a number, first by the 'instructress' and and later by other voices from the telescreen. What is that number?

Answer: 6079

Everyone had their number. The 'instructress' makes everyone exercise much to Winston's dismay.

Answer: Hand

For a fleeting moment he holds her hand, and in that instant he's certain he's memorised every part of it. At that point he doesn't know her name.

6. According to Winston freedom is the freedom to say what?

Answer: Two plus two makes four

When he is being tortured he is forced to say that it makes five.

7. What is in the dreaded room 101?

Answer: The worst thing in the world, i.e. that individual's greatest fear

In Winston's case this is rats. It's only by being threatened with rats that he finally betrays Julia and wishes that anyone would take his place.

8. By the end of the novel Winston has been given a job by the Party, drinks too much gin and spends most of his time in the corner table of which cafe?

Answer: The Chestnut Tree Cafe

"Under the spreading chestnut tree I sold you and you sold me" It is also where Winston saw former rebels.

9. At the very end of the book, when Winston discovers that the Party's troops are advancing and victorious what does he feel for Big Brother?

Answer: Love

The final tragedy of the book. 'He won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.'

10. According to the Big Brother slogans, ignorance is what?

Answer: Strength

'War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.'
