1984 Part 2 Chpt 3

Quote
"There was a direct,intimate connection between chastity and political orthodoxy"(133).

Significance
This is a great revelation for not only the characters in the book (an idea already though by Julia), but for the readers, too. This gives up a glimpse of how the Party was able to take the nature spirit out of all human beings. Now that we the readers, and they the characters know how they started it, they can begin to figure out how to stop it.

Words
credulity(n)-willingness to believe or trust too readily
privation(n)-lack of the usual comforts or necessities of life
