some would believe the most central paradox in Orwell’s 1984 is the Ministry of Love, it is clearly the Ministry of Truth, as evidenced by the amount of control it gives the party. The Ministry of Truth prioritizes on bending the past through destroying and rebuilding it all at the same time. This is considered lying but the party claims it’s the truth which gives off a fake persona to the people.

Considering Winston thinks he is doomed no matter what he does, this may be the key reason he trusts O 'Brian when he knows deep down something is off about the man. Thus, the place where there is no darkness also symbolizes his approach to
