What be the book “1984” roughly speaking? Who betrayed Winston Smith? What is the summary?
Answers:
1984
By George Orwell
Winston Smith knows there is something wrong with the world. Surely it hasn’t other been tasteless food, gray, stringy clothing, a dispiriting job, and other the same fear and suspicion of everyone around you? But if life did used to change, how does he know it was? What makes him question Big Brother, who is other watching, and the Party, who is always right? Why does he instinctually avoid the all-knowing tele-screen, and secretly abhor the Two Minute Hate that everyone else revels in?
These are the question that plague Winston’s mind constantly. He knows he’s different, but doesn’t know why, and doesn’t know how to find out without detection. The world as he knows it is packed with hate, anger, and fear, but wide down he longs for answers, and for beauty. He’s always wondering about former times, and whether the facts that Big Brother comes out with daily are the truth, or nothing but lies. The departed is constantly being rewritten by the Party, and it’s Winston’s job to help transform the facts to suit the current day’s needs. He both loves and is horrified by his job but sees nil he can do about it.
Winston can’t take the monotony anymore and one day starts a exceedingly small rebellion of his own by starting a diary, which is forbidden (and punishable by death). A chance meeting beside a dark haired girl at the Ministry where he works slowly leads to an illicit affair, which awakens vibrations in him he never knew existed. He is filled next to love and lust for Julia, and their passionate romance awakens another feeling- all out rebellion against the body. They meet secretly as often as they can, discussion about the world and making love in secret rooms. To Winston, it’s ecstasy.f
Another chance meeting leads him to O’Brian, an Inner Party accomplice he believes to be associated with a conspiracy against the Party, part of a secret society prearranged only as the Brotherhood. He and Julia immediately join, and promise to do doesn`t matter what they can to help the Brotherhood. O’Brian promises them that nothing will ever happen surrounded by their lifetime, and their service with the Brotherhood will most certainly lead to torture and release by the Party. This doesn’t bother them in the slightest.
It doesn’t take them long to get caught, however (betrayed, ultimately, by a benevolently shopkeeper they trusted, who turns out to be a member of the Thought Police), and they’re both taken to the Ministry of Love for torture and interrogation.
Winston is held there for months, getting tortured by O’Brian himself, who turns out to be a member of the Party. He holds out against him and his brainwashing for a long time, but surrounded by the end he betrays Julia, and himself. He submits to their brainwashing and learns to love Big Brother, and Big Brother only. He have no individualism, no thoughts that are not approved by the party, and no love for his fellow man. He is released from his prison, considered a “perfect specimen” by the Party and safe for society. Source(s): http://www.wikisummaries.org/1984
Geez, im doing your homework!!
Hes betrayed by his girlfriend. Read the book to find out her name, im not giving you ALL the answers.
The book is roughly speaking Government controlling their people to such an extent that the people do not even believe they being controlled.
I'd summarise the book as such 'History is what the knockout wrote. The Past is much deeper.'
