Two minutes hate is when the party and people go to the telescreen and look at Goldstein and shout and scream at him.The party hates Goldstein because Goldstein doesn't like the way the government works and he came close to changing the Government. The people are forced to yell and scream at the telescreen because that then shows their hatred and if they show the slightest liking towards Goldstein or to not hating Goldstein ,then they get vaporized.
I find this topic to be interesting because even though all the people have to worship big brother and strongly dispise Goldstein they probably don't. Just like Winston I'm sure their our others who want a good , free country and not a dystopia.There are people who want to say something and stand up for themselves but they can't because then the though police will vaporise them. It it a terrible thing.

Liz, you basically have the two minutes hate concept understood. The only thing that I would have to add is the fact that Goldstein actually made videos expressing his hatred towards the government and Big Brother. Along with the videos, he was the only person to date that escaped from Oceania. Other than the facts i stated, your analysis is on track
Something to remember when considering 1984. The government controls everything - information, daily life.
Do you think Goldstein actually exists? If he didn't, why would the government create him?
