> As with the other ministries in the novel, the name Ministry of Truth is a misnomer because in reality it serves the opposite: it is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events.

> However, like the other ministries, the name is also apt because it decides what "truth" is in Oceania.

Low-effort, I know, but what was the point of everyone reading this book in High School English if not for this very moment?
