Lastly, I have noticed that Winston has a passion in everything he does, I’ve seen this in the book when Winston falls in love with Julia, once he was aware of this he essentially committed his entire life to their
relationship.
Dally Winston is meaner, colder and tougher member of the greasers. Ponyboy describes him as ‘towheaded and shifty-eyed, Dally was anything but handsome. Yet in his hard face there was character, pride, and a savage defiance of the world.’…
One of the quotes in the book 1984 was: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The party slogan appeared twice in the book, once in Book One, Chapter III, when Winston was thinking about party’s control and history. The quote also appeared once in Book Three, Chapter II, when Winston talked to O’Brien about nature of the past when he was a prisoner in the Ministry of Love. It is significant to the book because the quote portrays the totalitarian government. Having control of the past secures control of the future and if the past was perfect, citizens would try to maintain that glorious past. Likewise, the Party had control of the present. For example, every history book praised Party ideology,…
Through the novel, Winston hides his newfound thoughtcrime as best as he can, he hides his thoughts from his facial features and the scratching pen from the telescreens. Even as he works in his job, he is collecting and retaining information regarding the lies and truths (if any) from the Party. Winston is essentially a messenger, a messiah, ready to deliver the true word to the people of Oceania, if not for the potential threat of death before he could even utter one word. As Winston progresses he only learns and recalls copious amounts of information and retains what he edits thanks to the simplification of newspeak, and keeps it in the back of his mind to fester and grow into even deeper hate. Collecting this information and recalling it…
Lastly, this chapter discusses how Winston is longing for an enjoyable sexual…

If life is but a dream, do we ever wake up? Or are dreams just a fragment of our imagination? Do they hold any relevance to our inner most desires and thoughts? Revealing one's character or repressed feelings can be known by in our dreams.

I do not agree with Winston’s lack of development and would like to make him a more heroic character. Instead of having him crying “two gin-scented tears” and admitting that he loves Big Brother while accepting another glass of gin from a waiter, I want the relationship for Winston and the waiter to be stronger. Perhaps, the waiter would be Julia in disguised. Since Oceania has lost the war in my story, I want to keep Winston’s victory happiness toward…
In 1984, George Orwell uses symbolism to illustrate how a totalitarian government that controls the past will rob its citizens of their humanity in both the present and the future, through the coral paperweight. Winston’s purchase of the coral paperweight represents the beginning of his and Julia’s special relationship which he describes as “a beautiful thing… not like any glass he had ever seen” (80-81). The description of the glass paperweight as “ a beautiful thing” yet “not like any glass he had ever seen” reveals that Winston and Julia’s relationship is something that Winston has never experienced. This text persuades the reader that the friendship between the two will blossom into something beautiful. Upon deeper examination of the paperweight, Winston finds that “there was such a depth to it, and yet it was almost as transparent as air... the glass had been the arch of the sky, enclosing a tiny world with its atmosphere complete” (122), which shows how the paperweight really is like a world within a greater world. Winston notices that the paperweight is “almost as transparent as air”, suggesting the delicacy of their secret lives. However, Winston also sees that “there is such a depth to it”, and the glass itself seems like “a tiny world.” Winston’s observations lead the reader to believe that although their relationship only exists secretly in the room, there are many levels of trust and bonds between the two. They control the present in their own hands, as Winston and Julia are free to do as they please in the secrecy of their room. Furthermore, Winston goes to say that “the paperweight was the room that he was in, and the coral was Julia’s life and his own, fixed in a sort of eternity at the heart of the crystal,” which suggests how the paperweight is an exact representation of their relationship and the room they spend their time in. The fact that the coral is fixed in the glass shows the vulnerability and constant instability of their lives together.…

From the beginning of the novel rebellion had always been a part of Winston, but as time went on rebellion from the powerful Big Brother consumed him. After his hysteric outburst on paper on writing “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER”, Winston reveals that, “He had committed- would still have committed, even if he had never set pen on paper- the essential crime. Thought crime..." This is the first time Winston allows his feeling to surface through the suppression of the party. Within him there is sheer hatred for Big Brother, enough to sporadically scream his demise through pen and paper. More importantly, he knew he committed a crime and that it was inevitable. Though he knows that what he has done cannot be changed he accepts its inevitability. Rebellion was rooted in the deepest part of his mind as Thoughtcrime and it was inescapable.…
He finds Julia and falls in love with her. But while in room 101 both of them betray each other and realize that they don't really love each other. He becomes friends with O'Brian but later finds out that O'Brian was working with the party and was on their side pretty much the whole time. Winston is humiliated at times in the book. “Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation.” (O'Brian, Part 3 Chapter 3) The party uses this to their advantage. They use this to get that they want. Room 101 is pretty much what that is for. The party uses systematic and brutal torture to re-educate the “wrong doers”. They often use peoples worst fears against them no matter what the cost is. In all of this journey Winston realizes that the party controls their reality. The telescreen watching them and telling them what to do was a big give away. Him not remembering his past is different though. He tries to rebel and figure out why but is not able to. He only gets dreams of what he thinks is his…
Winston Smith was a very typical thirty nine year old Outer Party worker. Winston though, had a trait that the “party” vastly disliked. It was his own dislike of the Party. Because Winston is so real it was hard for them to miss this dislike. Before getting into that, more should be known about Winston. Winston lived a life of misery and pain and only a few times in his life was he allowed to experiencing joy and love. He lived in a society where the value of technology was greater than the value of life itself. Now, during those times of joy and love, Winston felt a sense of a better future. But, that is not possible in his world. There is no happy ending. Dictatorship does not allow such a completion; Winston must be ruined. Aside from all…
