In 1984, what type of literature is produced for the proles? How does prole literature differ from that produced for party members?

The answer
to this question can be found in Chapter Four of Part One. The Ministry of Truth, whereworks, is
responsible for producing literature for the consumption of both Party members and proles.writes
that the Ministry produces "newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programmes, plays,
[and] novels" for the Party members that are full of rewritten history and Party
propaganda. These included all sorts of literature, including children's books and Newspeak
dictionaries, but they were all written to promote ideological conformity. The literature that
the Ministry of Truth produced for the proles was of "a lower level," and consisted of
"rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology,
sensational five-cent novelettes [and] films oozing with sex." The sentimental nonsense
songs sung by the proles throughout the book were composed by a special machine called a
"versificator." There is even a special section of the Ministry of Truth called
Pornosec that produces pornography for the proles to consume. Party members were strictly
prohibited from viewing this material, which was sent out in sealed envelopes to the
neighborhoods where the proles lived. The Party is using two different methods to achieve the
same end: power. The proles are kept docile through the proliferation of brainless literature
and low art, and the Party members, through their consumption of media, are constantly exposed
to propaganda.
