In 1984, women were very much stereotyped and were seen as very incapacitated of doing what men were capable of doing. Winston himself said that women are, “devices for a man's inclination” (“Role of Women). When comparing women and men from the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, women in the eyes of men are supposed to stay home, cook, clean and watch the children. Furthermore, Winston looks at women as if they’re babies, because babies are dependent and they depend on their parents. When Winston mentioned his wife Katherine he said,”he would be able to live with her if it wasn’t just for one thing” (Role of Women). What Winston is referring to is sex, saying that if she provided or did more than just offer sex he would be able to live with her
In English this semester we have studied three different texts. All three texts were based on original, fictional worlds. The fictional world which stood out above the rest and really amazed me would have to be ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’. ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ was the most realistic out of the three. While reading the novel you really get into the fictional world and think like the main character Winston Smith. Three aspects of the text which made this world so interesting to study were The Inner Party, Big Brother, and the Thought Police. Each of these interesting aspects in Nineteen Eighty Four play a great part in the novel itself and the way the fictional world works.
Written right after the publication of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises is apparently influenced in many ways. The most obvious of Fitzgerald's influence is manifested in Hemingway's portrayal of his heroine, Brett Ashley. Numerous critics have noted and discussed the similarities between Brett and Daisy Buchanan, and rightly so; but the two women also have fundamental differences. Compared to Daisy, Brett is a more rounded, complex character, and Hemingway has treated her with more sympathy than Fitzgerald has with Daisy. Some similarities between Brett Ashley and Daisy Buchanan include their physical beauty, their extravagant/ flamboyant lifestyle, and their unhappy marriages. However, their most important similarity is the destructive influence they have on their suitors.
Syme is Winston's “friend” who works in the Research Department as a Newspeak specialist. Syme was “venomously orthodox” (pg.49) and didn't seem to have any sense of emotion. He talks about hangings and raids on enemy villages as if he were discussing the weather. Winston seems to think that Syme is always trying to detect unorthodoxy or facecrime in his responses when they talk. He believes that Syme is too intelligent and blunt and that the Party will vaporize him. Syme is different from Winston in that he is wholeheartedly devoted to the party. Syme and Winston are both smart enough to see the corruption in the Party, but Syme swallows it with the help of Doublethink, while Winston does not. Winston sees Parsons, his tenant at victory mansions,
Time is viewed in many different ways. Some would say that time seems to fly by too fast; others would say that time drags on. Everybody has a different perspective on what time feels like and just as it is to be expected, time affects people in many different ways. Certain people are affected by events everyday in life. Somebody might have experienced a loss in the family or a very traumatic accident. Many people deal with that loss and everybody copes differently. Everybody grieves and in some cases the grieving process never stops. In many cases, you may grieve for a little while and over the year’s people learn to accept it, realizing that they can’t dwell on that forever. Although, a person in the same situation may still be in that process,

George Orwell creates a dark, depressing and pessimistic world where the government has full control over the masses in the novel 1984. The protagonist, Winston, is low-level Party member who has grown to resent the society that he lives in. Orwell portrays him as a individual that begins to lose his sanity due to the constrictions of society. There are only two possible outcomes, either he becomes more effectively assimilated or he brings about the change he desires. Winston starts a journey towards his own self-destruction. His first defiant act is the diary where he writes “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER.” But he goes further by having an affair with Julia, another party member, renting a room over Mr. Carrington’s antique shop where Winston conducts this affair with Julia, and by following O’Brien who claims to have connections with the Brotherhood, the anti-Party movement led my Emmanuel Goldstein. Winston and Julia are both eventually arrested by the Thought Police when Mr. Carrington turns out to be a undercover officer. They both eventually betray each other when O’Brien conducts torture upon them at the Ministry of Love. Orwell conveys the limitations of the individual when it comes to doing something monumental like overthrowing the established hierarchy which is seen through the futility of Winston Smith’s actions that end with his failure instead of the end of Big Brother. Winston’s goal of liberating himself turns out to be hopeless when the people he trusted end up betraying him and how he was arbitrarily manipulated. It can be perceived that Winston was in fact concerned more about his own sanity and physical well-being because he gives into Big Brother after he is tortured and becomes content to live in the society he hated so much. Winston witnesses the weakness within the prole community because of their inability to understand the Party’s workings but he himself embodies weakness by sabotaging himself by associating with all the wrong people and by simply falling into the arms of Big Brother. Orwell created a world where there is no use but to assimilate from Winston’s perspective making his struggle utterly hopeless.
