summary 1984

It is 1984 and Winston Smith lives in London which is a city of the country Oceania. The whole world is divided into three countries: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. All of them are totalitarian societies, which are led by Big Brother, which censors everyone’s behavior, as well as their thoughts. Winston hates his oppressed life and secretly wants to join the fabled Brotherhood, a supposed group of underground rebels who want to overthrow the government. Winston meets Julia and they secretly fall in love and have an affair, something which is considered a crime. One day, while walking home, Winston encounters O’Brian, an inner party member, who gives Winston his address. Winston had exchanged glances with O’Brian before and had dreams about him giving him the impression that O’Brian was a member of the Brotherhood. Since Julia hated the party as much as Winston did, they went to O’Brian’s house together where they were introduced into the Brotherhood. O’Brian is actually a faithful member of the Inner-Party and this is actually a trap for Winston, a trap that O’Brian has been cleverly setting for seven years. Winston and Julia are sent to the Ministry of Love which is a sort of rehabilitation center for criminals accused of thoughtcrime. There, Winston was separated from Julia, and tortured until his beliefs coincided with those of the Party. Winston denounces everything he believed him, even his love for Julia, and was released back into the public where he wastes his days at the Chestnut Tree drinking gin.
