The motif of slavery is seen everywhere -- whether in the propaganda campaigns announcing the scarcity of products, or in the "newspeak" slogans that populate Oceania, or in the thought police that keep "proles" from arriving at any real truth or connection with the past. Indeed, Winston's attempt to understand history as it really happened is seen as a kind of act of terrorism.

In conclusion, 1984 is a novel full of archetypes (Winston the modern archetypal Everyman; O'Brien the archetypal modern villain cast in the totalitarian mold), motifs (slavery through propaganda and lies), and symbols (the symbol of false "luv" exhibited in the building of the Ministry of Love itself -- a windowless, barricaded structure armed with machine-gun nests).
The novel deals with the ways in which Winston attempts to reconnect with the Past, with history, with humanity and with Truth -- and the extents that Big Brother (the totalitarian symbol of evil) will go to keep him from being successful.
