What Makes This Chap?
We follow Winston as he tries to find out what is wrong with this society. We understand only the world through his point of view, we don't know anything that he doesn't know. He's not even sure if he is alive, if he's sane and so on. The things he tries are all sort of strangled at birth. But that's the thing about the regime. There is no escape from it. It's a sort of perfect trap. And then he tries with Julia. He tries to get in touch with ideas about intimacy and sexual urgency. That's not going to be the saving of him.
