In the novel "1984," by George Orwell, their world called Oceania is enveloped by a dystopian society “a society in which you cannot have your own thoughts, feelings, or choices." The party is not open to change. They've set up this place so that nobody can free-willingly do what they'd like. It is practically impossible to make acquaintances much less friends, and every single person around you must be referred to as your comrade. Winston, the main character in this book, wants to defy these laws that Big Brother has made. He wants to find a way around them, along with a way to stop them. He is one of the most determined characters in any novel, though in the end, things do not end up going his way after all. "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" (Orwell 7). This statement, which is what the citizens of Oceania live by, makes how this society is sort of self-explanatory. You must follow whatever the party tells you to do, or there will be severe consequences. The Thought Police will surely find you, for they are everywhere “ the Thought Police arrest you for things such as thought crime, which is another self-explanatory thing. If you think too hard, if you get ideas, if you go against Big Brother, you have committed thoughtcrime. This is why they have set up telescreens all over the city, so they can watch you no matter what you are doing. Really, though, you have absolutely no idea that you're being watched. At one moment in time, you may think that you're in the clear, but someone could be standing just around the corner, ready to arrest you for the first thing they discover. In Winston's case, he most recently bought a diary in secret, and he has been writing in it his thoughts about the party and everything that surrounds it. One of the most prominent passages from Winston's diary were the pages that simply read "Down with Big Brother," over and over again. He loathes Big Brother, and he wants to see them destroyed, while the rest of the city worships the party. He is more curious about the past and what it could be capable of, but it is practically impossible to think this way. The second he is caught, the Thought Police come for him, and there is definitely a chance for him to be tortured, even sentenced to death. That's nothing new around Oceania, though. Nobody would give the situation a second glance, because Big Brother is always right, and if they think you've done wrong, then you've definitely done wrong. Winston meets one of his favorite comrades, O'Brien, someone who seems to think more like him than anyone else. He also recognizes a girl who has been following him for quite some time, a girl with dark hair whom he dislikes because she makes him feel uneasy and rather dangerous. There
