thoughts. Other forms of language control that is apparent in ‘1984’ is that words have been created and removed in the development of Newspeak. Any Standard English word, or oldspeak in 1984, could be made negative. ‘Cold’, for example, has had the affixes of un- and plus- to give greater emphasis. So uncold means ‘warm’ and pluscold means ‘very cold’. These words, and others such as crimethink are manufactured by the corrupt regime to instrument control in ‘1984’. In ‘The Handmaids tale’ the Gileadean

Jekyll and Rapunzel both set standards of the word "distress" for their audience.Written as a fairytale for little boys and girls, Rapunzel bestows a gender neutral situation for the archetype in capture but affixes a solution that is femininely passive.
