My attitude towards the things de­scribed

Democratic government is a myth, it doesn`t really care what do you want to change in country. It will always be the same. Because everybody is unique and our needs, including people from government also, always will be absolutely different

The main idea of the 1984

In my opinion there are 2 main but different ideas of the novel:

• "Society you would never like to see but you're probably seeing it right now"
• How government can influenсe not only people who likes their poltics and people who against it

The main events

Winston works in the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party. He notices a coworker, a beautiful dark-haired girl, staring at him, and worries that she is an informant who will turn him in for his thoughtcrime. He is troubled by the Party’s control of history: the Party claims that Oceania has always been allied with Eastasia in a war against Eurasia, but Winston seems to recall a time when this was not true. The Party also claims that Emmanuel Goldstein, the alleged leader of the Brotherhood, is the most dangerous man alive, but this does not seem plausible to Winston. Winston spends his evenings walking through the poorest neighborhoods in London, where the proles lives, relatively free of Party monitoring.

One day, Winston receives a note from the dark-haired girl that reads “I love you.” She tells him her name, Julia, and they begin a secret affair, always on the lookout for signs of Party monitoring. Eventually they rent a room above the secondhand store in the prole district where Winston bought the diary. This relationship lasts for some time. Winston is sure that they will be caught and punished sooner or later, while Julia is more optimistic. As Winston’s affair with Julia progresses, his hatred for the Party grows more and more intense. At last, he receives the message that he has been waiting for: O’Brien wants to see him.

                                                                            Winston and Julia travel to O’Brien’s luxurious apartment. As a member of the powerful Inner Party (Winston belongs to the Outer Party), O’Brien leads a life of luxury that Winston can only imagine. O’Brien confirms to Winston and Julia that, like them, he hates the Party, and says that he works against it as a member of the Brotherhood. He indoctrinates Winston and Julia into the Brotherhood, and gives Winston a copy of Emmanuel Goldstein’s book, the manifesto of the Brotherhood. Winston reads the book to Julia in the room above the store. Suddenly, soldiers barge in and arrested them. Mr. Charrington, the owner of the store, is revealed as having been a member of the Thought Police all along.

Away from Julia and taken to a place called the Ministry of Love, Winston finds that O’Brien, too, is a Party spy who simply pretended to be a member of the Brotherhood in order to trap Winston into committing an open act of rebellion against the Party. O’Brien spends months torturing and brainwashing Winston, who struggles to resist. At last, O’Brien sends him to the dreaded Room 101, the final destination for anyone who opposes the Party. Here, O’Brien tells Winston that he will be forced to confront his worst fear. Throughout the novel, Winston has had recurring nightmares about rats; O’Brien now straps a cage full of rats onto Winston’s head and prepares to allow the rats to eat his face. Winston snaps, pleading with O’Brien to do it to Julia, not to him.

Giving up Julia is what O’Brien wanted from Winston all along. His spirit broken, Winston is released to the outside world. He meets Julia but no longer feels anything for her. He has accepted the Party entirely and has learned to love Big Brother.

About Winston Smith..

Winston Smith, the main character of the novel, is 39 years old. He was born in 1944-1945 in London. "Winston was a small man and looked even smaller in the blue overalls of the party. His hair was fair and the skin on his face was red and rough from cheap soap, old razor blades and the cold of the winter that had just ended". He always prefered to be alone (and it was right desicion, because they also like an everybody could tell Goverment all trouth about you) , so he actually didn`t have any friends. He had been working in Minestry of Truth at the Department of Documentation since his youth. His responsibilities include making alterations to documents, that have facts which contradict party propaganda. But nobody knows except himself and his diary that he hates their party ideas. And one day soldiers will find the diary and Big Brother will know it and Winston will be punished...
