The world of 1984 allows almost zero freedoms to its people. Representing a totalitarian/ communist nation, each action a person does is controlled by the government. For example, Winston feels like keeping a simple journal of his thoughts is a threat. Propaganda is everywhere; huge posters of the dictators face can be found almost anywhere you go. The thought police are another thing meant to cause fear and suppress the individuality of the people.

Winston is more awake to everything happening around hm. For example during the 2 minutes hate, he is able to see outside of himself and realize that he is throwing himself around and screaming with the rest of the crowd but he doesn't know why. He does not believe the things that he is saying. This doubt of the government is also illustrated by his journal, the purchase of the journal itself is an act of rebellion and then in it he writes "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" repeatedly.

Winston analyzes everything and he is not ignorant like everyone else. He thinks deeply about the meanings of everything rather than just accepting things as true. An example of this is when he ponders doublethink, and comes to the conclusion that understanding the meaning of the word doublethink involves the use of doublethink. He also thinks deeply about O’brien’s glance and interprets it as a sign of rebellion against Big Brother.
