In 1984, by George Orwell, the most significant events and moments in the book are interior, or mental. George Orwell gives these moments their due credit and time in the book. Because he puts this detail into the story, it is clear to the reader that these changes are taking place, and makes sure the reader knows the mindset before and after the change.
             In the beginning of 1984, the author gives us a clear view of Winston and what Big Brother has expected of him. Winston knows the rules, and goes about his everyday routine. Despite his casualness, Winston despises Big Brother and wonders what life was before it gained control, but must contain these thoughts as even the slightest hint of individualism can have the Thought Police at his door. This shows us very early on that Winston is capable of thought beyond what Big Brother will allow. Orwell uses this area of the book to paint a partial picture of Big Brother just enough to show that it is everywhere, as he wants to make this clear throughout the entire book. The next major stride in the book comes when Winston starts writing in his journal contemplating why he should or shouldn't actually write things down. Orwell takes the reader through this elaborate thought process of the pro's and con's of what Winston will face for writing this journal, from the Thought Police, to the next generation and the impact it may or may not have. Besides showing Winston's elaborate though process, this again shows the power of Big Brother in everything that its citizens do, they cannot escape from it's grasp even in their thoughts.

At the beginning of the relationship Winston explains how relationships are nothing in reality except for the Party's way to reproduce. Later on Orwell...
