“The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak . . . How could you have a slogan like 'freedom is slavery' when the concept of freedom has been abolished? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking—not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.”
- George Orwell, 1984

The purpose, effectiveness, and role of Newspeak in maintaining Party control in 1984
Summary:
Newspeak's purpose in 1984 is to limit the range of thought by reducing the complexity of language, making rebellious thoughts impossible. It is highly effective in maintaining Party control as it eliminates words related to rebellion and freedom, ensuring that citizens cannot conceptualize dissent. Newspeak thus plays a crucial role in reinforcing the Party's totalitarian regime by shaping and restricting thought.
