Part III
The Arena

As the young man walked into the arena, he turned. He looked up towards the royal box and, following custom, bowed low. But he did not look at the king at all. His eyes were fixed on the princess, who sat to the right of her father. She would not have been at the arena if she had not been half barbarian herself, but her intense and passionate soul obligated her to come and watch this terribly interesting trial. From the moment she knew her lover was going to be on trial in the arena, she could not think of anything else, day or night, except this great event and everything that was connected to it.

Part II
The Princess

Now, this semi-barbaric king had a daughter who was the most beautiful woman in the land. Just like her father, she was fierce and confident. The king was very proud of his daughter and loved her more than anyone else. She was the apple of his eye. Among the citizens of the king there was a young man who was the most handsome in the land. But he was also very poor. The moment the princess noticed the young man, she fell madly and passionately in love with him. But it was an impossible romance - a poor common man could never marry the king’s daughter! But the royal princess was satisfied with her lover, because he was braver than anyone else in all the kingdom. She loved him with a passion that was so barbaric that their forbidden love was too strong to break.

Part I
The King

Long, long ago there lived a king. He lived far away, but not too far. His royal ideas were influenced by European neighbors who were more progressive in their ideas and behavior. So, compared to other kings of that time, the king in our story was only “semi-barbaric”.

Pictures

One day, I drew a picture of a snake with an elephant inside it.

Room 101

He is much better. He is getting fatter and stronger every day. The new cell is more comfortable than the others he has been in. There is a bed and a chair to sit on. There is paper and an ink-pencil. They have given him a bath and they let him wash frequently in a metal bowl. They even give him warm water to wash with. They have given him new overalls, pulled out the rest of his teeth and given him new false teeth.

The Last Man

"There are three stages in returning you to society," says O'Brien. "There is learning, there is understanding and there is acceptance. It is time for you to begin the second stage."

As always, Winston is lying flat on his back. He is still tied to the bed, but these days he is not tied so tightly. The machine, too, is less frightening. He can stop them using it if he thinks quickly enough. O'Brien pulls the lever only when he says something stupid.

Miniluv

He does not know where he is. He thinks he is in the Ministry of Love, Miniluv, but he cannot be certain.He is in a cell with a high ceiling and no windows. Its walls are white and made of stone. It is bright with cold light. In this place, he feels, the lights will never be turned out. One moment he feels certain that it is a bright day outside and the next moment he is equally certain that it is black night. "We shall meet in the place where there is no dark," O'Brien said to him. In the Ministry of Love there are no windows.

Doublethink

On the sixth day of Hate Week, just before two thousand Eurasian prisoners were hanged in the park, the people of Oceania were told that they were not at war with Eurasia now. They were at war with Eastasia and Eurasia was a friend. You could hear it on the telescreens — Oceania was at war with Eastasia: Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
