How Is Winston Presented In The Book 1984

The book 1984, written by George Orwell, describes a world where people have no privacy. They were being watched every single second, and they weren’t allowed to have their own thoughts. This novel may sound unrealistic, but there are some relations between the world today and the world in 1984. And this novel warns us that, if totalitarianism were not opposed, some situations described in 1984 could become a reality in the future.
Throughout the book, Winston was described as a character who has his own mind, he bought a paperweight in the beginning of the story, which symbolizes a link to the past which Winston tried to reconnect. Winston also wrote in his diary, which not only broke the law, but also set himself on a disastrous path. Then
But one day, the Big Brothers caught Winston and Julia meeting, and they arrested them, that’s when everything changed. Winston was brought into Room 101, it is a room that people fear the most.
And in the room, is where Winston decided to betray Julia. He screamed, “Do it to Julia!
Not me! I don’t care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones!”
Hoping the Big Brother would torture Julia instead of him. The love and passion
Winston had for Julia went away, he would say anything to the Big Brothers in order to survive. In today’s world, people will do the same thing too. They will say anything or give someone else up to protect any benefit for themselves. Just like Winston in 1984, he betrayed Julia to protect his life. I believe that no matter where you are or what time period you are in, human characteristics don’t change. People are self-centered, and they only think about themselves when they are in danger. And this directly relates to
1984. Winston’s example fully describes how people would react when they are in a situation where they have to decide what to give up.
They novel 1984 is a reflection of today’s world. The author who wrote this novel
