Winston Smith lives in a place called Oceania, where the ruling Party closely watches everyone through screens, and their leader is called Big Brother. The Party controls everything, including history and language. They’re pushing a new language called Newspeak to eliminate rebellious thoughts and make even thinking against the Party illegal.<\/p>\n
Winston is unhappy with the Party’s strict rules that ban free thought, sex, and individuality. He secretly keeps a diary to record his rebellious thoughts and is obsessed with a Party member named O’Brien, whom he thinks is part of a group trying to overthrow the Party.<\/p>\n
Winston works at the Ministry of Truth, where he changes historical records to fit the Party’s narrative. He’s worried about a coworker, Julia, who might report his rebellious thoughts. He’s also troubled by the Party’s control of history and the claim that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.<\/p>\n
One day, Julia confesses her love to Winston, and they begin a secret relationship. They rent a room in the prole district, always fearing they’ll get caught. As their relationship grows, so does Winston’s hatred for the Party. Eventually, they receive a message from O’Brien, a powerful Inner Party member who claims to oppose the Party.<\/p>\n
Winston and Julia meet O’Brien, who reveals he’s a spy, not a rebel. They get arrested, and Winston ends up at the Ministry of Love. O’Brien tortures and brainwashes him. In the end, Winston is taken to Room 101, where he faces his worst fear, rats. He betrays Julia to save himself.<\/p>\n
Winston is released, meets Julia again, but feels nothing for her. He fully accepts the Party and loves Big Brother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
