Winston Smith Quote Analysis

Following the collapse of France during World War II, the conditions the Allied powers faced became bleaker by the day. The United Kingdom was standing alone in the face of Germany, and under Hitler’s reign, the German “blitzkrieg” or “lightning war,” a tactic involving bombardment, tanks, and ground troops in quick offense proved too much for many countries. Winston Churchill would be the one to place hope in the hearts of the British people, delivering his “Their Finest Hour” speech on the 18th of June, 1940. Churchill utilized persuasive rhetoric whilst appealing to the people's logic and emotions, to raise morale and spirit in the United Kingdom to fight.

During the torture with rats in room 101, Winston says: “Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don’t care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!”(pg. 300). The one person that Winston promised to never betray, Julia, was betrayed at the end due to the power of the Party and their constant monitoring of the people, which led them to know everything from what a person likes to what they hate. In this case, Winston’s deepest fear and disgust were towards rats and they used it as a tool to break the strong bond between Julia and Winston. Julia also says: “I betrayed you” (pg. 305), which demonstrates that the Party does indeed know everything about everyone because they used a similar torture method to distort and destroy her love for Winston. It is horrifying to think that torture was used to change people’s beliefs and feelings in the Party’s favor. I suppose Orwell wanted to indicate to what extent the government might go to achieve total power over people and one of his messages here is that even middle class people, like Winston and Julia, will be sentenced in a totalitarian system; if they live with their position, they are committing an act of intellectual and moral suicide as human individuals, and if they try

In the book, “A Raisin in the Sun”, the family is faced with many challenges. Between gender, discrimination, family, social classes, and the very unique American dream, conflictions surfaced and began to become bigger problems. At the end of the book, the Youngers moved out of their apartment. But, we did not know what the future held for this family. If the Youngers stayed in the old apartment they were living in, they would revert back to their old habits. “Who’s fighting you? Who even cares about you?” (Pg.32). In this quote, Walter talks about his wife’s importance. He shows how vulnerable he was and took out all his anger on her. This quote relates to reverting back to their old habits because Walter and Ruth would continue to complain about how they see no change coming for them to work for.

In George Orwell’s 1984, Winston Smith is a prime example of the oppressed fighting against the oppressor by his actions of minute resistance, giving his love to another, and joining a secret activists group.

This quote creates a effect of betrayed and disbelieve and a bit afraid because the example of the son betraying the father, who were so close and they survive together through the worst and then almost the end of the terror they leave the person behind which cause the people to watch there back and trust no one.

"I love you" (108) was the beginning of the conflict between Julia and Winston. Love prevailed them to go against Big Brother and later to themselves. Love has caused more problems than having the hate that the government created for the good of society. “ He had suddenly understood that in the whole world there was just one person to whom he could transfer his punishment-one body that he could thrust between himself and the rats. And he was shouting frantically, over and over: “ Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me!...”(286) Towards the end of everything having love doesn't help someone as

Orwell begins this passage by hinting to the fact that the cause of Winston’s depression was due to Julia’s “betrayal”. He writes, “Perhaps her thickened, stiffened body was no longer recognizable from the behind”. In other words, due to the previous argument, Winston feels indifferent of her presence even through the scurrying figures around him; His mind is clouded with her betrayal. Orwell clearly uses emotional diction in these lines to emphasise Winston’s state of mind, and that “trusted” people in Oceania have no true meaning; People would end up betraying him. Here, as Orwell writes “no longer recognizable”, he intends to exhibit that from the moment of the argument, Winston has been spaced out and unvigilant. This makes him vulnerable to any emotional outbursts caused by anything that reminds him of her. If the argument did not occur, then he would not have been insubstantial. With these lines, Orwell foreshadows

They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased”.

I’m sick of talking about money. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. He doesn't understand. He needs to understand. Money isn’t everything. We should be grateful of what we have now. He has everything I have ever wanted; love, a house, and freedom. Walter has so much to be thankful for like his job, his wife, and his son. But he only cares about money. I told him how when I was his age, there was no talk about money, but about freedom. Times have changed.

Winston Smith believes that hope for the future lies in the proles because it's their rebellion that can bring down Big Brother, and Usher in the change of the government. Proles ,proletarians, working class, and comprise make up about 80% of the population. Also Winston sees proles as happy workers who are not smart.

According to Alexander the Great if I wanted to become a turnip right now all I would have to do, is try. There is no logic in this idea and while it is inspiring it’s not scientifically possible. Many things can be done through great effort but not anything. I’m sure Alexander the Great didn’t want to die but no matter how hard he tried he still did. Really all this quote does is give the reader false hope that anything is possible and if you try hard you can do anything but really that is not true.

Being confident is one of the most important leadership quality to me. I choose Winston Churchill because he was confident in his opinion to Adolf Hitler, that no one should believe or think that Adolf Hitler was being honest. Winston Churchill said that Hitler will not keep his promise and he will do whatever he thinks is right.
