Answer:

Orwell presents the book in this way to allow the reader to be present in Winston thoughts and mind. The reader can understand the political beliefs and rebellious ideas that are presented in Goldstein’s book. It allows the reader to compare the Party/Big Brother’s philosophy for human life to what rebellious citizens believes in fair and just.

Answer: Orwell includes Goldstein's book as a separate entity to the main plot, with a purpose of challenging the Party and its philosophy.

Step-by-step explanation:

1984 is a dystopian novel from 1949, written by George Orwell. It is about a man called Winston, who is a low ranking member of 'the Party'. Winston is frustrated by the Big Brother, a man who controls people's lives.

in the novel, Goldstein's book ( "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism") functions as a separate entity to the main plot. The book serves as a contradictory book which opposes the Party and its philosophy and represents a socialist utopia.
