In 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith is the main instrument that Orwell uses to forward his theme into the reader’s consciousness. Thus, Winston’s role as the vehicle of the story makes his change throughout the story all the more visible. Winston’s transition throughout the novel are indicators of the state of mind that he develops at each particular stage, from his initial silent grousing, to his full fledged rebellion in the median, and finally to his submission at the conclusion. His different variations of character, mental state, and physical condition are all used in determining what the reader will think of Winston at each state. ...
Winston’s mind is a place of linear progression throughout the novel. Orwell uses Winston’s variable mindsets to conveniently place the context of the occurrences in the plot into the reader’s consciousness. In the opening series of the novel, Winston in introduced as a man of silent malcontent and disconcertion. ... In this diary, Winston expounds his anger and emotion against the overwhelming force in his life. ... During the Two Minutes Hate, Winston and O’Brien make quick eye contact, and Winston is ecstatic. ... His diary is a heinous example of Thought Crime, and Winston is scared that he has committed “the essential crime that contained all others in itself” (19).
As the book and Winston’s rebellion progresses, he moves from introversion to more pronounced acts to throw the Party’s reigns on him. ... Winston is taken aback by this, but the two meet and discover that they have a mutual hatred for the Party. But her hatred is different than Winston’s. ... Winston’s mindset begins to change, and he becomes happier as their affair progresses. He even goes to talk to O’Brien, whom Winston has convinced himself must be a member of the famed Brotherhood and hates the Party like himself.
