Esteem

So earlier in this week we were supposed to write about esteem, and I didnt, ooops, so here I go. Alright I found this part in 1984 where Winston was talking to Syme, and how syme was so proud of his work. I thought it was ironic how they cant have esteem because if they become to passionate and proud of their work then they often know way to much, therefore they would have to be vaporized. So if they had esteem in their work, they would be given the ultimate punishment for it.

  1. Seems to me that progress would come slowly for scientist and inventors or Oceania if they can't have any esteem! Fails would just be fails and you couldn't recover with victories! Well not for long that is.
