This is the moment in the novel where Orwell creates the imagery to enforce his point. This main point is that in order to control people there must be some sort of fear tactic involved. Humans run along through their lives living on emotion and because of this they are easily controlled. They do not want to feel pain or be without a necessity such as food, clothing, and shelter, therefore they lie, cheat, and steal to ensure that they survive. O'Brien, one of Orwell's character's in 1984, clearly explains to Winston that having power over people means that you are fully aware of their weaknesses and you use it against them. The main idea in this passage is that if there is no fear provoked, there is no total control.
