1984 Chp. 1-3

Through the first few reading chapters, Winston Smith's greatest conflict is trying to hold back his feeling of rebellion for Oceania. Oceania is a highly monitored state filled with big brother propaganda and telescreens.  These telescreens not only televise propaganda, news, and hatred for enemies, but it also contains a camera that watches civilians every move.  Winston shows his disgust for this totalitarian society by writing "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER" repeatedly in his secret journal.  Winston's hatred for the government is also shown during the two minute hate when he seems anger not at the enemy, "but, on the contrary, against Big Brother, the Party, and the Thought Police.."  Winston's feelings for Oceania are also expressed through his repetition of describing the ways Big Brother is watching.  He later goes on to claim that "nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your head."  This goes to show that he feels extremely violated and has put up with this watch for long enough.
