Chapter Two: The Speakwrite is complete

This chapter introduced the novel's signature object. In Orwell's 1984, objects carry weight (the paperweight Winston buys, the diary he keeps, etc). Arthur's speakwrite dial is smaller, more mundane. A piece of bureaucratic machinery. Proof of nothing except that Arthur once took something that wasn't his.
