Moreover, Winston writes about the present so that people in the future will have an accurate view of the past (35). Even Though Winston is aware expressing or even having thoughts against Big Brother is considered a thought crime, he can’t accept their philosophy.
To start, Winston demonstrates his defiance and revolutionary view by using a diary as a secure place to keep his thoughts, for example, repeatedly writing “down with Big Brother” (19). ?Secondly, the characters of 1984 are good because they fight for better conditions. So overall, 1984 characters were brave to get through times of struggle. Winston has to be brave because of the cruel torture O’Brien is putting him through, so his perspective will alike with the government’s. Lastly, O’Brien tortures Winston through the three reintegration stages of “learning, understanding, and acceptance” (215). He had to be brave because he didn’t have his family anymore and was all alone. Winston never knew what happened to his mother and sister, but always suspected they had been vaporized. Furthermore, when Winston returned to the room, “his mother had disappeared…Nothing was gone from the room except his mother and his sister” (135). The characters are forced to be brave because he lives in the dark, pessimistic world the government has created. To Begin, Winston describes the nightmarish world he lives in by introducing it as ‘you had to live-did live, from habit that became instinct-in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized” (Orwell 6-7). Initially, the characters of 1984 are good because they have a need to be brave to get through the struggling times the government puts them through. The main characters of 1984 reveal themselves to be good, righteous people who struggle against a controlling government. This book is set in Oceania, a place where the Party scrutinizes human actions with its leader Big Brother, who seeks control over the population by implementing restrictions, surveillance, and propaganda. The protagonist, Winston, wrestles with oppression in a dystopian society where individuality doesn’t exist. In the book 1984, George Orwell explores the human mind when it comes to power, control, and corruption. Governments can lead their populations to be their own and do great things, or it can take total control and brainwash their society into believing everything they tell them.
