In short, the
telescreens announced a victory for the country. As Oceania had defeated Eurasia, the
telescreens specifically cried:
"Vast strategic
maneuver - perfect co-ordination - utter control of the whole of Africa - bring the war within
measurable distance of its end - victory - greatest victory in human history - victory, victory,
victory."
This announcement is important for two
reasons.
First, this demonstrates for the last time that the people are
hearing a manipulated message. They are being taken advantage of by the power of
propaganda.
Second, this statements offers incredible . A victory has just
been achieved over 's life. He has just been won to the Party's ideology forever. His humanity
has been defeated.
The reading audience understands that the Party's message
will always offer hope, but never actually truly achieve the means of completely defeating
another country. The countries depend on being at war with each other to keep their people under
control.
