1 Nobody heard what Big Brother was saying.
2 Perhaps Big Brother was merely getting rid of a too-popular subordinate.
3 Winston decided that it would not be enough simply to reverse the tendency of Big Brother's speech.
4 On the walls were scarlet banners of the Youth League and the Spies, and a full-sized poster of Big Brother.
5 Very likely as many as a dozen people were now working away on rival versions of what Big Brother had actually said.
6 There, too, in tiny clear lettering, the same slogans were inscribed, and on the other face of the coin the head of Big Brother.
7 In the Party histories, of course, Big Brother figured as the leader and guardian of the Revolution since its very earliest days.
8 It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened.
9 But the face of Big Brother seemed to persist for several seconds on the screen, as though the impact that it had made on everyone's eyeballs was too vivid to wear off immediately.
10 Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.
11 Big Brother's Order for the Day, it seemed, had been chiefly devoted to praising the work of an organization known as FFCC, which supplied cigarettes and other comforts to the sailors in the Floating Fortresses.

14 For example, it appeared from 'The Times' of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet but that a Eurasian offensive would shortly be launched in North Africa.'

16 Thus, at one moment Winston's hatred was not turned against Goldstein at all, but, on the contrary, against Big Brother, the Party, and the Thought Police; and at such moments his heart went out to the lonely, derided heretic on the screen, sole guardian of truth and sanity in a world of lies.
17 At those moments his secret loathing of Big Brother changed into adoration, and Big Brother seemed to tower up, an invincible, fearless protector, standing like a rock against the hordes of Asia, and Goldstein, in spite of his isolation, his helplessness, and the doubt that hung about his very existence, seemed like some sinister enchanter, capable by the mere power of his voice of wrecking the structure of civilization.
