Winston Smith is the protagonist of the novel 1984 by George Orwell. In the book, he is described as a worn-out looking man, he is about thirty-nine years old, Caucasian, with a thin build and always wearing blue overalls. Personality wise, he seems like a very troubled and frail person. He has strong feelings and opinions of the world around him but is unable to express them. In the first chapter we are shown how his feelings turn into internalized hatred and fear, not being able to act upon them, they manifest themselves into dreams. His biggest burden are his doubts on the government and what might happen if they find out what he thinks. He is constantly going through an endless battle against the INGSOC ideology and his own morals. In chapter three, we learn that Winston was alive before Big Brother had fully taken over and has a very foggy memory of what life was like before, “he tried to squeeze out some childhood memory that should tell him whether London had always been quite like this” (Orwell 9). Despite it all, he knows that Big Brother lies and the thought of what he should do with that information gives him a strong sense of uneasiness.
