This is the deal- it's been five years so I can read myself. I opened a book log and read who I am, now there isnothing left to look for anymore.

Winston Smith, this is the main character. He is very easy to identify with because he is not only the narrator's main focus but he is is so ordinary. He stands out against his complex and crazy governmentally run society. he is in a search, to find someone like him0 to find happiness and freedom. he is in a constant state of paranoa from the Thought Police. (oh bland irony)
He searches his soul constantly attempting to reach/touch his past- a purity that he feels he lacks and his soceity lacks.
This is the purity, innocence, freedom, that rules childood- it is essential.
His inabiliy tto recall much leads me to pose the following questions:
?Was his socelty recently taken captive by their government?
?Was he brainwashed through time, at once- or at all?
? DId he have a good childhood?
?Has there always been life as they know it?

I love to analyze- Consider the name: Winston Smith
symbolism,
Winston immediatly promted me to think of Winston Churchill. He wrote the Lutheran docrine and put it on the Catholic door. This is like Winston's Simth's attempt to find justice in his twisted world.
They are corrupt and he wants to find innocence. (intentions that breed)
Smith is So common; porbably the most common last name I know of... This give him that ordinary relatability- the perfect narrator and protagonist.

What is the importance of PArty members not going to ordinary shops?
I think it may have to do with the govt necessity to prvent all followers from glancing at a reality!
...
THen, now, in 2006, I must pause to consider this...
I am currently Affectionate
I am listening to my past
