1984 Ch. 5 & 6

"The stuff that was coming out of him consisted of words, but it was not speech in the true sense: it was a noise uttered in unconsciousness, like the quacking of a duck" (54).

"Always in your stomach and in your skin there was a sort of protest. A feeling that you had been cheated of something that you had a right to" (59).

Big Brother has formed the comrades of Oceania into a bunch of mechanical creatures that only speak the words that are fed to them. Nobody has there own brain in this book. The people only speak the words of Big Brother and his government. Fortunately, Winston has not transformed into one of these monsters, but the sad part about this is that he needs to hold himself back from even looking like he may have something to say in protest or opposition. Winston is like a caged bird fighting to get out. He is stuck. Winston has the option of converting into another one of Big Brother's toys or to be taken out of existence. There are two extremes Winston would have to choose between, but he is confused and alone. Citizens of a country or state are supposed to have freedom of speech. Big Brother refuses to even consider letting the comrades think for themselves. He has completely brainwashed them!
