A man named O’Brien who works with Winston is secretly the leader of the Thought Police. Winston is tortured and beaten, but not killed, the Party wants him to change and conform to their policies. “When you finally surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us; so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul,” (255). The Party tortures and tortures until you admit defeat and the Party has won again. O’Brien explains that everything about Goldstein and the Brotherhood was made by the Party to strike fear into the people to make

Believing that O’Brien is a member of the Brotherhood and he too is opposed to the Party, Julia and Winston pay him a visit at his apartment. O’Brien tells the two that they must be willing to lose their own lives in order to take down Big Brother; however, when he asks if they would be willing to betray one another, they refuse. Winston’s hatred for Big Brother has accumulated so much that he is now willing to die solely for the sake of taking down the Party. At the start of the novel, Winston could not stand the thought of his own death. The thought haunted him, and he was not prepared for that to happen. As the story progresses and Winston is being oppressed in more and more ways, he despises the Party more than ever, and eventually is

In the novel, Winston is a character who lacks "hero" traits as he has more traits of an everyman than a hero. Winston is an out of shape, average man with a "varicose ulcer above his right ankle" (3). Considering the typical hero, not only does Winston lack the physical strength, he lacks the mentality as well. Throughout the novel, he consistently talks about "overthrowing the Party," but he never actually does it. Instead of overthrowing the Party, he rebels by purchasing a diary and writing sentences such as "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" (20) and " I don’t care down with big brother they always shoot you in the back of the neck" (21). Winston chooses to write these into his diary as he is too cowardly to say this in public. As time passes, his

The Two Minutes Hate, implemented by the Party, is a time frame in which the Party’s enemies (especially Emmanuel Goldstein) are ridiculed and hated by members of Oceania. The crowd is always a violent uproar and the citizens are all absorbed in the energy of it, even if they secretly don’t actually feel the hatred. During this time Winston sees the dark-haired girl, who is behind him, participating in the action. (Pages

Throughout the novel, Winston is always hiding his thoughts about the Party and about Big Brother, although he is completely against it. However, in order to ensure that he does not get caught, he must act as though he loves them and agrees with their power over society. Surveillance is shaping these characters to be a perfect representation of what they are expected to be, instead of being who they are.

Although the Party exercises much of its power through intimidation, psychological manipulation, and other indirect methods of control, the Victory Gin’s effect on Winston’s mental state of mind is limited. As Winston begins to completely reject social expectations and rebel against the Party, he “had dropped his habit of drinking gin at all hours. He seemed to have lost the need for it,” the more time he spent with Julia, and the “process of life had ceased to be intolerable… [now] that they had a secure hiding-place, almost a home,” (Orwell 153). When the Party’s vice to control Winston, the Victory Gin, is being consumed less, Winston brazenly uses sexuality as a weapon of an insurgency, and life becomes

During Winstons torturing he says “I hate him’ ‘You hate him. GOod. Then the time has come for you to take the last step. You must love Big Brother” (282). Then he is sent to room 101. After he gets out of the room he find himself in the cafe and it is there where he write 2+2=5 on the table. This shows that he loves big brother, and the brainwashing worked. He loves him because he did not have any other option other than to love him. Ultimately “ He has won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother”(298). The party won Winston is now a slave to the party just like everyone else. He has been brainwashed into thinking everything Big Brother says is

Winston eventually walks into the proles’ district and sneaks into a forbidden shop to buy a paperweight, a relic from the past. As he is leaving the store, he realizes that the same dark-haired girl is watching him and believes that she is a spy for the thought police, and that he has surely been found out and will be eliminated.

Winston Smith walked home\surrounded by posters proclaiming “Big Brother is Watching You”. Smith does not like the Party but expressing his opinion would mean certain death. Thought crime means death or vaporization, it meant a person’s existence was never there; they were born. This story is composed in three parts; the world of 1984 as he (Smith) sees it, Smith’s rebellion and affair with Julia and Smith’s interrogation, torture, most importantly, his re-education at Miniluv. Winston Smith live in the now ruined London, “chief city of Airstrip One” as quoted in the

The threats and pressures from the totalitarian government he lives under drive Winston to deceive those around him as an act of self-preservation. Early in the novel, Winston pretends to wholeheartedly agree with everyone around him during the Ten Minutes Hate. He yells and screams to give the appearance that he is compliant with the Party’s guidelines and principles, but inwardly he questions the existence of Goldstein and the rebels and wonders if they are truly as evil as the Party claims. Winston can sense that he is different from the others and he does not want to fall into robotic submission, so he uses his contradictory thoughts as a sort of quiet rebellion. He values his individuality and personal

Two Minutes of Hate. One instance is “Winston’s diaphragm was constricted. He could never see the face of Goldstein without a painful mixture of emotion” (Orwell 12.) Winston explains how he was taught to loathe Goldstein. Winston grew up before the Party was in power, but the Party has managed to persuade Winston to instinctually fear and hate Goldstein. Additionally, Orwell continues to display the Party’s power through Winston by describing Goldstein’s speech as “so exaggerated and perverse that a child should have been able to see through it, and yet just plausible enough to fill one with an alarmed feeling that other people, less level-headed than oneself, might be taken by it” (Orwell 12.) Winston initially describes how the Party has misled him to believe to hate Goldstein. Later, Winston continues to describe how everyone else sees Goldstein. Some people use him to express

He has realized what the government does to people; how everyone is made to be the same, where no one is allowed to think on their own. The party is omnipotent in all affairs and he will not go along with it anymore. Winston has made up his mind; he is going to do everything he can to bring down the party. He and Julia go to O’Brien’s apartment one afternoon, and Winston’s true hatred is revealed. “We believe that there is some kind of conspiracy, some kind of secret organization working against the Party,
