What Is Winston's Purpose In Chapter 1 Of 1984 By George Orwell

From Winston’s loneliness, the desire to find another who shares his views blossoms. He, like most people, craved human connection. He had been married, and perhaps still was (he was not sure), to a woman so orthodox that it repulsed him. It is never made apparent what occurs to Winston’s wife, but his time with her was not pleasant. He hated what she stood for and how she represented the ideal Party member. This disgust for his wife added to his distaste for the government.

In the face of heavy situations or being under overwhelming pressure from the state or from one’s peers, I believe it is possible for an individual to keep hold of their own sense of truth and values under a certain amount of pressure. However, I also believe the person can lose their senses once a breaking point is reached. Despite the amount of heavy torture Winston faced in the Ministry of Love, he still had his own beliefs. With the fate of Winston, however, is all truly lost and overwhelmed by Big Brother? Or is Winston's fate a rallying point for humankind? Winston’s fate is a rallying point for humankind seeing that he was able to keep hold of his own mind despite the Party’s various methods of manipulation, and he was able to foresee

Winston Smith lives in a country under complete totalitarian control. He is part of a poor city with little food and huge pyramids. These pyramids are home to a party called Big Brother which uses surveillance cameras to constantly watch its people and exercise its power. Winston’s main attributes are his fatalism and rebelliousness. Winston hates the Party passionately and starts to test the limits of its power. He has a love affair with Julia one of his fellow workers and writes about his hate for Big Brother in his diary and eventually joins the anti-party brotherhood. The odd shape of Winston’s room allowed him to sit slightly out of the telescreens range so he could start writing his diary.

Winston’s job within the novel is replacing history of what actually happened with a “revised version”. However, he becomes concern in rewriting the history, even though he enjoys his work, because he want to know what actually did happen to the specific period,

To be specific, Winston’s life thus far has been making a turn for the better—obtaining his diary, meeting new colleagues, and acquainting himself with Julia—until he is caught by the Thought Police. The fact that telescreens reveal themselves around Charrington’s attic confirms my prediction that Winston will find trouble with the telescreen.

Winston sees Big Brother two different ways in the novel; for almost the entire novel he hates everything that Big Brother is. Then in the end, his view of Big Brother in changed completely, and then matches everyone else’s view of Big Brother. In this way the reader is able to see how there are similarities between the two sides of God and of Big Brother.

The protagonist in Orwell’s 1984 is Winston Smith. In the novel the reader experiences the dangers of a totalitarian world through the eyes of Winston Smith. He, unlike the other citizens of Oceania, is aware of the illusions that the Party, Big Brother, and the Thought Police institute. Winston’s personality is extremely pensive and curious; he is desperate to understand the reasons why the Party exercises absolute power in Oceania. Winston tests the limits of the Party’s power through his secret journal, committing an illegal affair, and being indicted into an Anti-Party Brotherhood. He does all his in hopes to achieve freedom and independence, yet in the end it only leads to physical and psychological torture, transforming him into a loyal subject of Big Brother.

We are almost immediately hit with a cascading sense of doom as the story begins. The first character we are introduced to is Winston Smith, a low ranking party member in the super state of Air Strip One. ‘’The clocks are striking thirteen on a cold day in April’’ as Winston enters his apartment on what I presume is a break. He retrieves a small diary from a little nook not visible from his telescreen. The diary had been purchased from a small shop in the prole district. Winston acknowledges that the having diary could be punishable by death.

In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the main characters Winston and Julia try to defy their government due to their dissatisfaction with the law. Winston first rebels by buying a diary book from a pawn shop and keeping an account of his day. If he were caught with the unapproved records, he “would be punished by death, or at least twenty-five years in a forced labor camp” (Orwell, 9). Still, despite the risk, Winston breaks the law. Because he works in the Records department, he knows that almost everything the Party claims are lies. In order to rediscover the actual, true past prior to the Party’s rule, he decides to join the Brotherhood, a rebellious group working to overthrow the government. On the other hand, his partner Julia is indifferent to the lies of the government. even though she knows that they are used to cover up the

The language of this passage, illustrates Winston’s frantic thoughts and worries, by having long, and sometimes grotesque sentences, describing life, death, and suicide, the current topics circulating Winston’s mind. Prior to this passage, Winston’s had just had an encounter with the dark-haired girl, where he believing her to be a spy who was following him, contemplated killing her, but found himself unable to. In this passage he’s very overwhelmed by this past event and his thoughts are portrayed in long, sentences, that show the current hopelessness he feels. He thinks to himself; “On the battlefield, in the torture chamber, on a sinking ship, the issues you are fighting are always forgotten, because the body swells up until it fills the universe, and even when you are not paralyzed by fright or screaming with pain, life

In 1984 the citizens of Airstrip One are frightened to live a normal life and emotions. One thought against The Party can lead to their death or for them to be "vaporized''. The Thought Police are good at manipulating and getting into their citizen's mind to cause terror. In Oceania even thinking of love or a woman's body can cause an excruciating amount of pain on the offender. In part two chapter one Winton, the main character sees the girl with the dark hair in a sling then fall. The interaction between the both of them can cause severe punishment.

Winston Smith is 39-year-old man who lives in the Victory Mansions. He works in the Ministry of Truth in the outer party. The Ministry of Truth changes the history so it’ll fit in the government to prevent a future uproar. In a considered act of rebellion Winston purchases a journal to write out all his thoughts about the

Winston stood directly in front of the blinding telescreen. He held the note that Julia had just passed to him underneath his scrawny chin. As he stared forward, the telescreen had consequently left a white glow upon his already dull complexion. Winston had not even read the note, but he was aware that the passing of it was a crime in itself. Gazing across to Julia, who had maintained her stride through the Ministry of Truth, directed towards the cubicles. He wondered what would come of her heinous offense. Winston remained in this stance until the telescreen revealed an instruction to him: ‘Find her and guide her to Victory Square, we will be waiting to commence the arrest.’

A commonly known proverb describes how “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Similarly, a society as a whole cannot progress forward if members of the group lag behind; especially not if those who are holding them back are trying to go against the flow as much as possible. As evidence to being, in a way, unreasonable, Rorschach from Moore’s Watchmen and Winston from Orwell’s 1984 seem to parallel one another in their inability to accept their environments and in their similar determination to get what they want.

Winston Smith, the tragic non-conformist main character works as a member of the party. His job is to rewrite newspaper records
