"A new poster had suddenly appeared all over London. It had no caption, and represented simply the monstrous figure of a Eurasian soldier, three or four meters high, striding forward with expressionless Mongolian face and enormous boots, a submachine gun from his hiip. From whataever angle you looked at the poster, the muzzle of the gun, magnified by the foreshortening, seemed to be pointed straight at you." pg 123
I found the imagery from the book very vivid in this passage, and very unsettling. Oceania seems to be at war with a different frequently, and they put up posters like this to scare the population and to make that country look bad. Personally, I would be extremely scared if I saw a poster like this in my town and it would make living there scary. It's also strange how everyone treats it normally and don't seem to be startled like it's a normal thing.
