Recommended: Orwells context to 1984

Due to the fact that I have not read any of the Harry Potter books, or even watched any of the movies, I chose to go a different route. I decided to use the familiar character, Winston Smith, the protagonist from George Orwell‘s 1984. Winston is considered of having bad health, he smokes, drinks and has a hard time getting up in the morning. One of the most notable deformities that Winston is his varicose ulcer above his right ankle . This is Winston’s Mark that sets him apart as the protagonist for the story, Because it symbolizes his hatred and dislike for the party. In the second time the ulcer is brought up in the book, it itches due to the fact that Winston can’t remember why he started his diary. Subconsciously he is holding back his

    Returning to his diary, Winston then expresses his emotions against the Party, the Thought Police and Big Brother himself; he questions the unnecessary acts by the Party and continuously asserts rebellion. Winston soon realized he had committed the crime of having an individual thought, “thoughtcrime.” The chapter ends with a knock on Winston’s door. Significant Quotes “From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” (Orwell 7). “But there was a fraction of a second when their eyes met, and for as long as it took to happen Winston knew— yes, he knew!

  • Pressure Ulcer Case Study

    1189 Words  | 3 Pages

    Pressure ulcers development occurs in every hospital and it remains a major worldwide health problem for many years. However, pressure ulcers have received minimal attention when we talk about it as a patient safety issue. It is a patient safety issue as it can lead to serious damage such as life-threatening infections and pain (Richardson & Barrow, 2015). On a med/surg unit, individuals may experience long or short hospital stays depending on the situation. For the short stays, the focus of care is often on regaining activities of daily living (Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario, 2011). Therefore, assessment and education regarding pressure ulcers is often minimal or non-existent (RNAO, 2011). Every client who is at risk needs to be assessed and educated regarding pressure ulcers and the subsequent skin breakdown (Cooper, 2013). During the hospital stay, clients may have limited movement and pressure ulcers can extend into the muscle, tendon, and bone (RNAO, 2011). In many cases, clients do not notice the formation of an ulcer and as it may be in areas that are out of sight such as the coccyx. Often,

    Tired of his constricted life, Winston decides to take part in rebellious acts against the Party and attempts to overthrow the government that rules over him. As one could imagine, Winston’s personality does not conform to the rest of the population, because he possesses original characteristics that make him different. For example, within the first few pages of the novel, Winston wrote down the words “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER” several times in his journal (Orwell 16). “Big Brother” stands for the leader of the Party who supposedly watches over everybody.

    Currently health care facilities use individual, multi-component interventions, or series of interventions to prevent pressure ulcers. Either health care staff is not implementing these strategies into their patient’s care or some changes obviously need to be made. Interventions to prevent pressure ulcers consist of using the Braden Scale for initial and repeated skin assessments to determine the patient’s risks for pressure ulcers, specialized support mattresses, heel supports, and frequent repositioning for bed bound patients, encouraging mobility, moisture management, nutrition, hydration, and reducing friction or shear forces on parts of the body at increased risk for pressure ulcers (Sullivan & Schoelles, 2013).

  • Anxiety And Anxiety

    1180 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first section of the novel explains the world where Winston Smith lives. Anxiety is most common in this section of the book. Winston has heard of people being vaporized and that they become non-people but he has never seen this happen. Winston did things or thought things that made him anxious. However he also knew there were things allowed by the Party that were not within the law but sometimes you could still do. Winston bought a book for a diary, this was wrong and he hid the book from the Party. This action is noted when Winston went to the corner and thought about the book, “But it had also been suggested by the book that he had just taken out of the drawer.” (Orwell,9) Buying the book was not a serious crime. Winston still didn’t want anyone to know about the book so he hid in a corner of his room when he did his writing. Winston had bought the book so he could write on the smooth pages, write thoughts about the government, and about Big Brother. Nobody in the Party was allowed to free-think and writing was a form of free-think. He knew this and he still started writing in the book. “Party member...

    He explains the “hallway smell of boiled cabbage and old rag mats” (Orwell 19) which immediately strikes the senses and repulses the reader. Upon deeper examination, this portion of the story is intended to generate feelings of distaste in the reader in order to get them pondering why Winston is in this situation rather than improving his condition. As the reader continues on in the novel, they find that Winston has no option to better the environment he lives in and the strict government he is controlled by is to blame. Winston’s deteriorating home is only one example of the degeneration of his surroundings. His home city of London is decaying, with “crazy garden walls sagging in all directions”

    At the end of the novel, Orwell describes Winston as a cured patient who has over come his metal disease. “He had won the victory over himself: he loved Big Brother” (Part 3, Chapter 6). Both Freud and Orwell break down the components of a person’s mind in the same way. Orwell’s character, Winston, depicts the different parts of the human mind so described by Freud. In Orwell’s 1984, he uncovers the same components of a human mind as seen by Freud, the instinctual drive of the id, the perceptions and actions of the ego, and the censorship imposed by the morality of the superego.

For instance, in the beginning of the story, when Winston begins to write in his diary his thoughts were on the very act of it being a crime. In this passage Winston thought to himself, “The thing he was about to do was to open the diary. This was not illegal (nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws), but if detected it was reasonably certain that it would be punished by death, or at least twenty-five ye...
