The Past Must Be Changed All the Time Because The party Can Never Make a Mistake

"The Past Must Be Changed All the Time Because The party Can Never Make a Mistake" is a sentence we can find in chapter number eight that talks about the Doublethink. It's written by Emmanuel Goldstein, the enemy number one of The Party, and it talks about the way that The Party manipulates the information to have always the reason.

The quotation says it very clearly: the past must be changed to make sure that people never knows that the Party was wrong sometime. It's a way of making people think that the Party will never do something amiss, that they are perfect and that they never make mistakes. Moreover, we can see in this sentence how easy was for The Party to control all that information. How they, thanks to the Ministry of Truth, can erase any type of information that contradicts them. How can they change the meaning of the words to make people belive false information. In addition, this sentence also shows the selfishness of The Party. They must always be right. The must always say the correct and the last thing and, if someone says the otehr way, he should be trated as a traitor.


So, as a conclusion, I would like to say that it's always the same. The Party controls the whole information that moves around he country and, as a consequence, it controls people's thoughts.
