Part 2/8:
One of the key pieces of evidence that suggest the eventual overthrow of the Party comes from the appendix of the novel, which describes the language of Oceania, known as Newspeak. The appendix is written in the past tense, hinting that the language and, by extension, the Party itself are no longer in power at the time of its writing. The reference to Winston by name further implies that his fate diverged from O'Brien's ominous prediction of being vaporized, hinting at a narrative continuity beyond the last bleak moments of the book.
