- Who told them about you? - asked Wiston.
- My little daughter. - said Parsons.
Your own daughter, just a little and innocent girl who you have seen growing up and who you have love so much has betray you. Can you immagine it?
It's shocking and impressive but in those times it was something ordinary. And that's what had happened to Mrs. Parsons in Chapter 9 of 1984. He, who has always supported the Party, who since he was a child was part of the Spies and who raised his children as a Party children; now is accused of thoughtcriminal by his own daughter!
This quotation is one of lots of examples that George Orwell give us to explain us how society was in those times. There was people who was educated so much to serve the party that end betraying their family. But, It was not only your family. Your neighbours, yours collagues or yours comrades. You weren't safe anywhere and with anyone. You always had to take care of what you say or eventhough, what you dream. Everybody wanted to show their respect and their admiration to Big brother and to the Party, and the best way of doing that was giving to them traitors.
It's cruel, but it was like this. Kids were educated and prepared to serf the party and that means they would have to identify traitors. Even thier friends or their parents.
