Winston smith an unusual hero in a very unusual world

Nothing fun is allowed- sex of any kind is banned as the babies are produced in test tubes. Not many games are allowed – the only entertainment is going to the local town square and watching thought criminals being hung or shot. Were aloud or most had been destroyed in the ministry of truth censoring these games even diary weren’t aloud. If these rules were broken or any other rules including negative thoughts or words towards the leader BIG BROTHER. The accused people not even given a trial but sent straight to the terrifying ministry of love. Where tortures are received in appalling conditions and the non confessors are sent to the most terrifying room in the building room 101.this is the room where all your worst nightmares are used against you and it’s different for each individual as there nightmares differ. When you’re broken and you confess it’s not the end you can either be thrown back into society or killed by hanging or shooting. It’s clear to see none wants to live in this sick and depressing world and it’s the heroes that resist and rebel.

The setting is set for our hero but his physical appearance could fool you into believing he was a pathetic nobody but in this world, heroes are different and appearances mean nothing. At first impressions his weak, frail battered, mouldy body would instantly put you off. You still haven’t seen his varicose ulcer on his leg and his asthma that makes his movement harder. His name could also fool you into believing his was a nobody a name like Winston Smith. His flat isn’t even a picture of heroism full of rubbish and broken objects reminding him of his worthless existence. Just as he seems less of a hero he shows some qualities worthy of a hero. A diary was banned in there time but Winston’s desire to fight back against the system started with his hidden diary.

Hidden from the telescreens and hidden in a hole in the wall Winston reminisces the days with freedom and yearns for his freedom again. Trying to escape his terrible existence to a place where life seemed easy but then its back to work for another boring day. As he leaves his disgustingly messed up flat he meets his neighbour Richard Parsons on the hall which smelt terrible and was not maintained. A comparison to the world they lived in. he went to work as usual and chatted to his friends as usual about how double plus good the leader was (they had there own dictionary with a lot fewer words than ours.)  The two minute hate was about to start as usual. The two minute hate was a time for the people to see images of people the party hates and get them to shout abuse at them. Until big brother appeared then they would cheer him. But this two minute hate was different. This two minute hate would eventually end up sealing his fate. The people that caused this were both making there intentions clear when they had a 30 sec glance at Winston during the two minute hate.

Firstly Julia the black haired girl not terribly good looking at all women looked as boring as the men and no make up meant she looked natural .She seemed to have lust for him as the story adds on she constantly shows her intentions for him. He is seemingly reluctant at first because he believes she is a member of the thought police trying to trick him. As the story goes on he realises she isn’t and they start there affair first in the woods until they rent a room above a store. The room that eventually would lead to there arrests. The room seemed to be without a telescreens but as later found out has a hidden one. The betrayal by the store clerk is another big twist in the story as he would seem to be a nice helpful man. There love for one another is physically expressed in this room against the rules of big brother and later used as grounds to prosecute them on. She never betrays him till she is broken in room 101 but the other person to glance at the two minute hate betrays him from the start.

O’Brien is the other person to glance and make Winston think the revolution is coming. His stare at the two minutes hate towards Winston made him think and plan for the revolution. But then he isn’t seen for a long time till he sees Winston in the hall and offers him the new dictionary something Winston couldn’t refuse. He went to his apartment inside the inner party and to Winston’s amazement was aloud to turn the telescreens off. So now he really believed the revolution would happen and as he was given a book
