The Ministry of Plenty ( Newspeak: Miniplenty) is in control of Oceania's command economy. It oversees rationing of food, supplies, and goods. As told in Orwell's book, the economy of Oceania is very important, and it is necessary to have the public continually create useless and synthetic supplies or weapons for use in the war, while they have no access to the means of production. This is the central theme of Oceania's idea that a poor, ignorant populace is easier to rule over than a wealthy, well-informed one. Telescreens often make reports on how Big Brother has been able to increase economic production, even when production has actually gone down (see §Ministry of Truth). The Ministry of Fear begins at a fete, a fair. Arthur Rowe, an “ordinary” everyman, is nostalgic, recalling his youth, attends and wins a cake, which begins the downhill slide for him in this novel that Graham Greene categorized as one of his “entertainments,” which means he saw them as very different from his “novels.” I’m a huge Greene fan, but I’ll admit there are a few of these supposedly “lesser” books I have never read. And I am here to say this book is not “less” any other book, really. It’s just a kind of dark thriller, though it has ethical implications as all his work does. O Greene πέρα απ'την πολύ προσεγμένη ανάπτυξη της πλοκής παραδίδει ένα δυνατό ψυχογράφημα κ μιλάει ταυτόχρονα για την ηθική κ το καθήκον, τις ενοχές κ την υπευθυνότητα κ.ο.κ. A police photograph is like a passport photograph: the intelligence which casts a veil over the crude common shape is never recorded by the cheap lens. No one can deny the contours of the flesh, the shape of nose and mouth, and yet we protest, This isn't me.”As Arthur Rowe, its pursued and pursuing protagonist, moves across London from north to south and east to west, the novel evokes a ravaged city that comes across as a potent, painful material actuality but also as a phantasmagoria: a place where the predictable and the improbable, waking consciousness and dream, the real and the surreal mix and merge; at one point Rowe feels 'directed, controlled, moulded, by some agency with a surrealist imagination'. This isn't real life any more," he said. "Tea on the lawn, evensong, croquet, the old ladies calling, the gentle unmalicious gossip, the gardener trundling the wheelbarrow full of leaves and grass. People write about it as if it still went on; lady novelists describe it over and over again in books of the month, but it's not there any more." He had stylized himself--life was easier that way. He had chosen a physical mould just as writer chooses a technical form.” In the BBC comedy television series Room 101, celebrities are invited to discuss their pet hates and persuade the host to consign them to oblivion, as metaphorically represented by the idea of Room 101.

The Ministry of Fear by Graham Greene - Pan Macmillan

Rowe was growing up.” “He was not, after all, a boy. He was a middle-aged man. He had started something and he must go on.” But it wasn’t the small Ministry to which Johns had referred, with limited aims like winning a war or changing a constitution. It was a Ministry as large as life to which all who loved belonged. If one loved one feared.” The Blitz was a good time to settle scores, an amazing opportunity to get away with murder, as people are being killed every day by bombs dropping from the sky and landmines. Food is scarce, and there are people that will kill for a cake with real eggs, but this cake is of interest to certain parties because of something else besides eggs in the batter. Arthur Rowe has been caught up in something sinister. There are people trying to kill him.Room 101, introduced in the climax of the novel, is the basement torture chamber in the Ministry of Love, in which the Party attempts to subject a prisoner to their own worst nightmare, fear or phobia, with the objective of breaking down their resistance. The Ministry of Fear is a very mood-driven,atmospheric book,a slow burn. Don't expect it to thrill you with set action pieces; the thrill here comes mainly from seeing the plot unfold through the eyes of a protagonist driven almost paranoid with past guilt and present fear. wasn’t only evil men who did these things. Courage smashes a cathedral, endurance lets a city starve, pity kills . . . we are trapped and betrayed by our virtues.”
