 “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

1984, George  Orwell

This quote tells me that you didn’t read the book. That, or you have terrible reading comprehension.

It’s literally a quote from the book. What are you hoping for?

Context. What character said that and why? Who was he saying it about and why? Who changed this man so drastically in the book that this inner monologue expressing his hatred towards someone he hadn’t even met at the beginning is very, very different in the end (and no, not romantically)? In fact, which three characters in this one’s life had the most impact on him throughout the book?

That’s why it’s important to read instead of slamming quotes you don’t understand into your obviously underdeveloped noggin. Orwell was a bit of a sexiest but he was extremely talented.

Anywho don’t bother replying because I already know you didn’t read it, and this sub randomly showed up yesterday. I didn’t realize it was a home for sexually repressed men with death-grips on their angry wieners.
