Newspeak serves as a way to limit the practice of self
expression and the freedom of thought. In 1984 it is shown to have worked well.
If you can’t express your thoughts or feelings then you eventually become
frustrated and end up forgetting what it was that you were feeling in the first
place. If people don’t know exactly what they are thinking then this narrows
their mind into a box of limitations. If no one can think for themselves then
thought crimes become virtually impossible; with the concept of newspeak it
narrows you down so much that when you can’t express what you are feeling you
are going to just want to give up. With that you mind is just going to get
smaller and smaller until you won’t want to think outside the box anymore.
