The Narrative Voice in 1984
I really like the idea that we as readers, we're kind of intruding into Winston's thoughts as well. We are sort of being the bad guys in that way. That's all part of the paranoia. One of the things that's really important about 1984 is that it proves, you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that literature can do things that other kinds of writing can't do. It can get inside your head, it can make you feel things and make you understand things in an almost instinctive way.
