The three-structured plot is simple enough (beginning, middle, and end) but each part comes loaded with meaning and images you will never stop thinking about. This trinity structure matches other threes like places (Oceania, Eastasia, Eurasia), the three slogans, and Goldstein's three types of people. This parallelism balances the themes throughout the novel.
