Objects in 1984: Question #9

Big Brother brainwashes all the citizens through the telescreen. On every telescreen, there’s a big picture of him, faded into the foreground while television maybe play in the background. It seems as though every second of everyday, he is watching everyone make their every move.
Everyday there’s two minutes of hate, where all the paroles are forced to sit and watch a video of horrible things/events. Big Brother has the power to change the outcome of the past, present, and possibly the future. He brainwashes everyone into thinking he has absolute power. He is the new God of this so-called new world.
In his utopia called Oceania, all the people act as though they’re zombies, merely because they are forced to live the life they don’t want, but just as Big Brother wants them to live it.
Everyday, he’s on the telescreen giving a speech about his power and control. There’s no way to escape Big Brother; he’s in everyone’s mind and you have to live the life you have, until either you die of sickness, old age, or if you are to be enclosed in Room 101.
