What do you think a normal human being needs to lead a pleasant and warm life? I believe you need freedom of thought, the right to love, the right to express yourself on paper and freedom of speech. In Orwell's totalitarian world, you have none of these freedoms. You must obey the party and do nothing but obey the party. The only way to temporarily escape totalitarianism is through conspiracy and lies. The characters in 1984 give us readers a sense of how INGSOC is ruining lives and making the very idea of ​​conspiracy hopeless. Winston Smith is your “Average Joe” in Oceania. He wonders how to determine what is true or not. Winston is a fatalist because “no matter what he does, he believes the party will eventually kill him.” At the beginning of the book, Winston buys a newspaper at a flea market, which is against the wishes of the party because if he buys the newspaper he is committing a crime against the party. Just buying the newspaper made no difference, whether he wrote in it or not, he would still be killed. On p. Orwell writes on page 19 of the book: “Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER or refrained from writing it made no difference. Whether or not he continued to keep his diary made no difference. I thought the police would do the same to him. This shows Winston's sense of fatalism. While in the store where Winston bought the journal, he sees a piece of coral encased in glass. He immediately became interested in it and decided to buy it. This piece of coral symbolizes her ability to connect to the past. Winston's first desire when he sees Julia following him is to kill her and smash her head on the pavement. Winston said to himself, "I could follow his trail until they were somewhere quiet, then smash his skull with a cobblestone." The piece of glass in my pocket should do the trick. By breaking the piece of glass over Julia's head, Winston would destroy two things. One is Julia and her hopes of having a decent life but her obsessive desire to know the truth and the second is the piece of coral which is Winston's way of connecting the past to the present. Winston is afraid that Julia is part of the thought police.
