Did Winston Go To The Parson Family In 1984 By George Orwell

The Impression Conveyed by Orwell of the Parsons Children and Society of 1984 Parson and his family are introduced to the reader very early in the book. Orwell has shown the Parson party as the average Oceania family. They dedicate them selves fully to Big Brother and the party. (1) "The Parsons families represent the average Outer Party, Oceania family. They dedicate themselves fully and without question to the Party and, if provoked, would not hesitate to turn Winston over to the Thought Police."

Parsons is a very pro big brother outer party member, we see this because even though he is arrested for thought crime, he still accepts that

The fear Mrs. Parsons shows for her children foreshadows Winston's encounter in jail with her husband, who is turned in to the Party for committing thought crime by his own child. Orwell was inspired in his creation of the Junior Spies by a real organization called Hitler Youth that thrived in Nazi Germany. This group instilled a fanatic patriotism in children that led them to such behaviors as monitoring their parents for any sign of deviation from Nazi orthodoxy, in much the same manner that Orwell later ascribed to the Junior Spies.
