"Never keep it down, thass what i say. Get it up while it's fresh on your stomach, like."

Although this quote may come across as a grouse reference to vomit and throwing up i believe that it can be interpreted in a more sanitary manner. I think that this quote could symbolize the proles beginning to realize their power, "Never keep it down," the proletarian woman says. She could be referring to vomit or the fact that she believes that she should never keep her hope and actions down, and express them freely without fear, after all we don't really know why she was in the cell with Winston, she could have been there for realizing what the party rejects them to, their potential.I think this quote sort of explains how not all proletarian are ignorent, and that this quote, whether it be some horrendous saying for vomiting or a sign of hope that it sort of foreshadows the evolution of the proletarian. They say the proletarian will never realize their potential and that they live in fear of the party, but what if they realized their potential but were too afraid to express it.

Aristocracy: a hereditary form of government, a hereditary ruling class.

Deafening: loud enough to cause hearing loss.
