1984 Part 2 Chpt 1

Quote
"in the darkness, where you were safe even from the telescreen"(109).

Significance
I found this to be a strange passage when juxtaposing it to the quote from O'brien about the darkness. He and Winston would only speak when they were out of the darkness, or where there were no telescreens. But here, the darkness is a safe place. It is a strange contradition.

Words
shirk(v)-to disregard, avoid, or dodge
fatuous(adj)-foolish or insane
