1984
Winston Smith works in London at the Ministry of Truth. London is a city in Airstrip One, a Province of Oceania. The Party with Big Brother as its leader rules Oceania, a totalitarian state and one of the great powers of the world. Winston is secretly dissatisfied with his life under the inflexible and paternalistic government and decides to keep a diary of his thoughts. This is considered a crime in Oceania and Winston knows that he will be eventually discovered by the Thought Police. To bind the party members, frequent two minute Hate Sessions are held to accuse the enemies of the party such as Emmanuel Goldstein who questioned party doctrines. Winston dreams of an idyllic Golden Country which represents freedom from the drabness of London, and from the always pervading presence of the Party, the Thought Police and Big Brother. A Golden country in which any form of expression is considered natural. The party discourages sexual fulfilment and makes any love affair with a party member impossible. Winston notices two people, O`Brien a party leader, and a young girl by the
philosophy. Winston encounters Julia at work. She stumbles and when Winston tries to help they cannot question the validity of its decisions. The leaders of this type of society is being brain-washed so that he conforms to the party doctrine. The ultimate torture is drinks heavily. Towards the end it is not quite clear whether Winston has been devoted to purity and Winston suspects that she may also be a member of the Thought Police.
