![]() It's so goddamn realistic, so gritty and shows that the story could've focused on any other random character and would've still been in the same vein.įantastic book. I love this interpretation of the "open minded protagonist in an apocalyptic world". He's such a neutral everyman, he does so LITTLE to change the society that he hates. This is a such a shift from typical bold protagonist seeking to shift the world I just absolutely love it. He hates the Party, obviously, and would love to see them overthrown, but would he do anything about it? Of course not, he'll leave that to the Brotherhood. He has absolutely no intention of doing anything grand to "change the world". This is an extremely, EXTREMELY realistic look at what such a world can do to you. Even the changes he strives to create are catered to himself. No, my point is how he knows what's wrong and what's right and does very little to change anything. Now, of course, Winston does indeed differentiate between good and evil, otherwise he would've been a sheep of Big Brother from the very beginning. In most "cruel regime" society stories, the protagonist is this tough yet free spirited radical idea preacher who sees the true enemy, and realises what's wrong and what's right and does his/her best to fight against that tyrannical society with some bold rebellion.Winston is the polar opposite of that. For the most part he is so impassive and so down to earth I sometimes wonder whether I'm reading fiction. Honestly.I've never seen a more neutral character than him. One of them being how good the character of Winston Smith is. There are quite a few hundred reasons I love 1984. Example: Hello.Įxplanation of our link flairs Join our /r/bookclub Don't forget /new!
