Winston in this chapter goes to a canteen where he eats lunch next to his comrade Syme. Syme is a philologist who is working on adjectives of the eleventh edition of the Newspeak dictionary . His beliefs are pure orthodox, keen of his job because he finds it beautiful to cut out the language into less words to communicate with. The purpose of the eleventh edition of the Newspeak dictinary is to slowly eliminate and obsolete the oldspeak words by 2050, this way no subsidiary words will exist any longer. For example, if we want to say the antonymous of "good" we will say "ungood" instead of "bad". The government wants to create a culture where people will no longer need to think, in other words orthodox, "no thinking, no need to think".
Behind Winton's table there was man who spoke stridently in a way that he didn't quiet understand but he knew it was all about how great Big brother and the political party was. Syme explained to Winston that the man was talking in "duckspeak" This word had two meanings, if you used " duckspeak" to your opponent it meant abuse and if you spoke "duckspeak" with someone you agree with it meant praising.

Parson was a tubby man, who lived in Victory mansion as Winston does. Parson's daughter gave a man to the patrols because he was wearing subtle shoes, from that judgement they came into the conclusion that the man was a foreigner and he must be killed. All the sudden, there was a telescreen announcement from the ministry of plenty, everyone was thanking big brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week and only yesterday it was announced that the chocolate ration will be reduced to twenty grammar. People in this society its like they live in reverie since, they had believed everything they heard in the news. Winston was careful of his face expression, since if you had a incredulous face while a victory was mentioned it was considered to be a FACECRIME. A loud bell rung and everyone went back to work.
