In the past (nobody knew exactly when) Goldstein had been
almost as important in the Party as Big Brother himself, but then
he had worked against the Party. Before he could be punished
with death, he had escaped — nobody knew how, exactly.
Somewhere he was still alive, and all crimes against the Party
came from his teaching.
Behind Goldstein's face on the telescreen were thousands of
Eurasian soldiers. Oceania was always at war with either Eurasia
or Eastasia. That changed, but the hate for Goldstein never did.
The Thought Police found his spies every day. They were called
'the Brotherhood', people said, although Winston sometimes
asked himself if the Brotherhood really existed. Goldstein had
also written a book, a terrible book, a book against the Party. It
had no title; it was just known as the book.
As Goldstein's face filled the telescreen and Eurasian soldiers
marched behind him, the Hate grew. People jumped up and
down, shouting and screaming so they could not hear Goldstein's
voice. Winston was shouting too; it was impossible not to. A girl
behind him, with thick, dark hair was screaming 'Pig! Pig!' at
Goldstein, and suddenly she picked up a heavy Newspeak
dictionary and threw it at the telescreen. It hit Goldstein on the
nose and fell to the floor.
Winston had often seen this girl at the Ministry but he had
never spoken to her. He did not know her name, but he knew
she worked in the Fiction Department. He had seen her with
tools so he guessed she was a mechanic on the story-writing
machines. She was a confident-looking girl of about twentyseven,
and she walked quickly. She wore the narrow red belt of
the Young People's League tied tightly round her overalls.
Winston had disliked her from the first moment he saw her.
He disliked nearly all women, especially young and pretty ones.
The young women were always most loyal to the Party and were
happiest to spy on others. But this girl was especially dangerous,
