1984 Winston A Hero Analysis
In my opinion Winston is a hero because he rescues a lot of people in the story and people consider him a savior. Winston's health was never good because he suffered from a coughing disease. He represents a good character when he decides to actually save the people in trouble. The people around him in the story see him as a nice and easy to get along with person. Winston was used in many good ways. A hero is a person who stands up and out of many people that includes braver. No one can ever go against Winston which shows the qualities of a brave/hero. Winston would never follow of the rules of his society and didnt understand the consequences. Without knowing any of that information shows the determination of being a hero. He stays to himself

    One of the quotes in the book 1984 was: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” The party slogan appeared twice in the book, once in Book One, Chapter III, when Winston was thinking about party’s control and history. The quote also appeared once in Book Three, Chapter II, when Winston talked to O’Brien about nature of the past when he was a prisoner in the Ministry of Love. It is significant to the book because the quote portrays the totalitarian government. Having control of the past secures control of the future and if the past was perfect, citizens would try to maintain that glorious past. Likewise, the Party had control of the present. For example, every history book praised Party ideology,…

    Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell, is a great novel that allows us to view the world in a different way. Winston Smith is filled with curiosity against the Party throughout the whole book. Most of his inner-questioning occurs in Part I. Many times he conforms to what The Party tells them to do, but in his mind he questions this. George Orwell is allowing us to see we must always question whatever we think is wrong. Many times we are ignorant to what is going on around us and, like Winston, we conform to everything, but sometimes we must see the reality of things.…

    1984 Trash Notes

    At the beginning of the book Winston was a thought criminal and nothing more and he later evolves into a full-fledged rebel, joining the “infamous” Brotherhood. Winston was an extremely annoying character from the very start. His decisions and actions were extremely irrational and I was not able to connect with his character throughout the novel. Winston had accepted that he would die to the hands of the Party as soon as he thought about writing in his diary. As readers we can only assume that Winston felt differently about Big Brother than most of the Party members, and this made him feel alone and vulnerable. This causes him to trust just about anyone who does not literally tell him they are part of the Thought Police. He feels he can trust O’Brien without any proof, he trusts Julia’s note to him and meets up with her knowing full well that she could be a spy for the Thought Police and finally he trusts Mr. Charrington because his old age makes him appear fragile and helpless. Winston was an annoying character because he never hoped to accomplish anything. There was no goal in his mind, and no intention of creating one either.…

    I do not agree with Winston’s lack of development and would like to make him a more heroic character. Instead of having him crying “two gin-scented tears” and admitting that he loves Big Brother while accepting another glass of gin from a waiter, I want the relationship for Winston and the waiter to be stronger. Perhaps, the waiter would be Julia in disguised. Since Oceania has lost the war in my story, I want to keep Winston’s victory happiness toward…

    A hero is a genuine soul. He or she is always willing to risk his or her life for the safety of another. He or she has a need for things to be right in the world, but evil will always return. A hero she also possesses some extraordinary power or gift that a normal human being does not. It is very interesting when Gilgamesh is compared with Enkidu. It is easy to tell at the beginning of the story that Enkidu is going to be a hero. It takes a little bit longer for the reader to warm up to the idea of Gilgamesh becoming a hero.…

    Winston is human. With no help, mortal or otherwise, and no special characteristics, can readers really expect him to be spectacular? Maybe he was not meant to be anyone's savior—maybe he was not hero at all, but that does not make him less admirable. There is admirability in his questioning and in his desire to be happy. He is still emulatble and one can learn from his mistakes. He shows readers that not all misfortune can be resolved, and if everyone is expected to be a hero, is anyone…

    What is a hero? Many people have different definitions of what a hero can be for example Beowulf. In the story Beowulf, Beowulf the hero is described as a great fighter and a man of tremendous strength. In my opinion a hero is not what the story describes a hero as. my definition of a hero is a good person who does something nice or saves somebody. A hero can also be someone you look up too. The Hollywood's definition of a hero is way different than my definition of a hero their definition of a hero is somebody who saves lives, has supernatural powers and are always protagonist in the stories. Some traits a hero has to make him a hero are they are nice, brave, have powers, caring and are patient. My definition and Hollywood's definition of…
