Two Minute Hate

Orwell portrays the Two Minute Hate as a terrifying outpouring of the rage contained inside ordinary citizens against a common enemy. For The Party to essentially promote their enemy in such a manner implies that there is a motive short of simply getting people to hate Goldstein – logically the overbearing Party would simply make Goldstein disappear rather than spend time denouncing him. The fact that so much time is devoted to putting Goldstein down implies that The Party aims to unify the masses against something so contrary to them that there is no threat of a coup.
