Big Brothers Assimilation of Winston Smith into a Perfect So

hug on every thing is inescapable.
             The ambition of Big Brother is to make people into a fearful obedient mass; this haunts Winston day and night. Winston lives in a totalitarian society which entails shabbily clothes, eating badly, living and working in drab-grey conditions. Big Brother does not hide the bland state of living. "Orwell shows us, it is a terrible thing; existing without any opportunity to see or smell or taste beautiful things, or even tasteful ones, is just as terrible" (Reinhardt 267) Not only is the food phony but the language is force fed to the populace. Big Brother is creating a new language called Newspeak. Newspeak is the ripping apart of the English language. Winston's stomach turns at the thought of not being able to express himself. One of Winston's coworkers is quoted saying, "In your heart you'd prefer to stick to Oldspeak, and its useless shades of meanings. You don't grasp the meaning of the destruction of words." Winston knows that Big Brother is trying to cut down on the ways a person can commit a thought crime. Winston attempts to hide his fears from almost everyone; he does no want his fears exposed to the Party.
