Their issue was not just of power, but rather absolute control. To achieve
absolute control over people is a powerful concept. Peoples minds become
distorted and their original objectives are left behind. The Party thought
they were doing things for the good of the people, when really all they

regulations, depriving them of their natural born right to be able to marry,

future that Orwell intends to happen?
Orwell's view on the future may have been .....

Words: 1899 - Pages: 7.... an instant romantic connection with each other. I loved this scene because it showed that Sydney Carton had finally found someone who could love him, as he could love them, but it saddened me that he had found her just before their deaths.
Another scene I particularly enjoyed was the scene in which a large cask of wine had dropped and broken in the street.
