Winston Smith. In 1984, Winston is 39 years old and lives in Oceania, one of the three superstates that dominate the world. According to his description, he has a small, frail, and skinny frame, fair hair, and a varicose ulcer over his right ankle. His job at the Ministry of Truth is to rewrite historical records to match the current political narrative of the ruling party, the Inner Party, in Oceania. Winston is a member of the Outer Party, the middle class. His life is unfulfilling, and he feels disillusioned with the party’s ideology, but he keeps his rebellious thoughts hidden to avoid being caught by the Thought Police, who are always on the lookout for signs of discontent. Winston secretly longs for a life free from government surveillance and control, despite his efforts to blend in with the party. Indulging in sexual fantasies and drinking gin, which the party strictly forbids, are among his forbidden pleasures. Winston becomes romantically involved with Julia. His contempt for the party and the oppressive society they live in is shared by her. Winston’s deep dissatisfaction with society becomes clear throughout these chapters. In the book Winston is described as “He was a man of thirty-nine, with a small, bony face that was absolutely motionless for moments at a time. His eyes, deep-set and dark, were fringed with springy hair”(Orwell 6).
