1984

Quote: "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power"(263).

Significance: The Party is all about themselves. It's disgusting. Winston finds out why the Party has done all these things. He knew there motive, but he never understood why and know he does because the Party is selfish and just wants power. They do not care that they abuse people until their death. It's disgusting and I really hope what Winston said about Man taking over and destroying the Party actually happens. It is awful what the Party is doing and it needs to end because leaders should never just care about power and themselves and no one else. It is not okay. Winston is definitely not okay with how his question why was answered and neither am I. Power is not everything.
