Parsons being sent to jail because of his daughter and him being accepting of it shows just how corrupt the government in 1984 is. It is a sad but true irony of this fictional world. Citizens have been so brainwashed that they go so far as to say they are proud of their own child for turning them in and getting them sent to the Ministry of Love. Children are taught to look out solely for themselves, even if that means betraying their own caregivers. They are animalistic and seek only self protection. Loving relationships are becoming more and more nonexistent as more generations appear. The only way a person can obtain full self protection is by doing everything possible to follow the Party and all of their rules, no matter what that entails. This fear and corruption causes the Party to gain more and more power as the future generations begin to populate society.
