In his home, Winston was able to locate an area where he was not seen by the telescreens: the alcove. Despite knowing the consequence of punishable death, Winston began to write a diary. In the midst of writing his diary, Winston
Many may argue that the he was murdered because the rug is rolled up. So maybe someone was looking for his fortune when Winston came in the room and was shot. But, this can not be true because if an intruder was looking for something and Winston came in, he wouldn’t be able to get that close to the intruder before getting shot. In the picture he was laying right where the intruder would be.
O’Brien, the Brotherhood’s leader, turns Winston in and he goes to jail. There he is questioned by O’Brien and tortured, ...
Winston Peacock's death was indeed a suicide. The evidence for this lies within the type of gun that was used, the placement of the gun and the wound, and the fact that the room's door was bolted shut from the inside. The first piece of evidence is the lone gun hanging diagonally on the wall to the left of the door. There are two hooks on either side of the gun, indicating that there was another identical gun that previously hung there so that the two guns decoratively crisscrossed. However, the gun missing from the wall is found in Peacock's hand, suggesting that he used his own gun to shoot himself in the head and commit suicide. Some may say that a murderer could have used Peacock's gun from the wall and used it to shoot him, but this is
From the beginning of the novel, it was inevitable that Big brother would eventually win, and Winston would be caught by the thought police. He could never have an immediate affect on the Party. His long and pointless struggle achieved no result in the end, and finally was brainwashed and lost any freedom of thought he once had.
All of his character traits combined lead him to his ultimate death. His attraction to beauty makes him keep hold of objects and things considered suspicious, his rebelliousness causes him to break nearly all of society’s rules, and his curiosity steers him toward people and places that eventually causes the Winston torture he endures in Ministry of Love. Winston could have had some false hope of a better world where he could get away from all of the harsh rules and regulations of the Party, but in reality, his personality traits dragged him through a life already pre-written and stamped with an early death.
Winston Smith is a member of an unchanging machine and as a result is subject to the atrocities that this society entails. Now, Winston throughout the course of the novel chose to defy the party of Ingsoc and because of trying to stand up to the atrocities, he was devoured promptly by the beast of the Party who has the Big Brother as its figurehead. In the face of this totalitarian rule, it is better to dissent in silence and ignore the atrocities that happen around you. Winston Smith decided to forego the path most traveled by and as a result all the difference to his life. Winston eventually suffered a metaphorical or literal death when that bullet entered in his brain and Winston won victory over himself. While the tangibility of that bullet creates some debate, there can be no debate to the fact that had Winston had not expressed his rebellious thoughts he would have led a natural, albeit, unfulfilling life. I believe that Winston Smith would have been ultimately better off dissenting in silent and keeping his treasonous thoughts to himself in order to avoid the fate of those who oppose Big
Winston and the Blackmore use a variety of strategies and rituals to maintain relationships. One example is shown through marital/partnership maintenance with Winston and his wives and between the wives themselves and everyone in the family. According to the text, “the eight behavioral characteristics are: positivity, openness, assurance, understanding, networks, relational talks, self-disclosure, and tasks” (Galvin, Braithwaite, & Bylund, 2014). I also feel that the Blackmore family makes great use of intergenerational rituals. Is states in our text, rituals serve as a way to bond family members of all ages across generations, providing a sense of family identity and connection” (Galvin, Braithwaite, & Bylund, 2014). Since their family is
Winston’s poor choice in relationships, weakening of will, and hypocritical view on history would be the greatest factors that would lead to his demise. He had initially seemed to be someone that a reader could cheer on, a person who would be brave enough to start a revolution, but he would turn out to be extraordinarily weak. Winston Smith portrays no qualities of a hero; he shows no strength to rise out of his journey from strength to weakness, never goes above and beyond what is expected of him, and never risks his life for the chance of helping others. Winston would be conquered by his fear and would metamorphose into the person he had claimed to hate, a lover of Big Brother.
Even though at the end of the novel, he is content sipping his gin and playing chess, he has become a completely different person as a result of his experience in prison and Room 101. This novel does an amazing job at describing the effect the surrounding environment has on identity. Values help to construct our identity, and identity is formed by the environment one lives in. If Winston were to exist in a society unrestrained by the limiting boundaries of the Party, his identity would be very different from what it has become throughout the novel. Because his experiences all involved the Party, the Party itself plays a huge role in forming Winston’s identity. Furthermore, identity is not only established by one’s environment, but by the perception of that environment. While Winston may have perceived Oceania as fettering and prejudiced, a simple Party member may have seen it as liberating to not have to worry about job security or having enough to eat. By trying to distance himself from the Party, Winston rooted himself in the idea that there was something better, a system that worked better than that of the Party. However, if he had just changed his perspective earlier, like he did at the end of the book, he may have found that he actually liked the way the Party operated. Despite not being perfect, the Party made Winston content in the end. The firm belief that there is something better, while there very well may be, is unrealistic for Winston; him learning to understand that, while compromising the values that made him heroic, ended up making him happy. And heroism in general is an impossible standard to attain, because it does not allow for compromise. In order for Winston to truly be a hero, he would have had to die, and for him, dying was not something he is willing to do,
Winston Smith was anxious and paranoid at the beginning but then soon after, he becomes confident in his ability in regards to overcoming the Party, even though he has continually predicted his own capture throughout the novel. In the passage, Winston Smith has the confidence to do anything, even go the hiding place with little to no hesitation. During the beginning of the novel, Winston is anxious about going to the hideout, but now he practically goes to the hiding place with small to no sort of hesitation whatsoever. Winston is proven to be a dynamic character, with the change in confidence.
The arguments of the three men triggered something in Winston’s mind. As though a switch was flipped a memory began to come back to the surface of his thoughts. He was emerging his apartment building into a street ripe with tension. Winston was in a building he did not recognize with his sister nearby him, and his parents currently out of sight. Winston seemed to be in an apartment, but a different one form his other memories. This apartment was cleaner and bigger, as though it was truly meant to accommodate more than just two small children and his small mother. The environment was tense and dread hung in the air as Winston remembered that familiar feeling of hunger, twisting in his gut.

Every cold case has a suspect or perpetrator who is thought to have committed the crime. Even a crime that happened 500 yeas ago has several suspects in mind. The murder and disappearance of the two princes in the tower, Edward V and Prince Richard, Duke of York, is a case that has never been solved. The two main suspects are Richard III and Henry VII. Although there is not enough evidence to convict either Richard III or Henry VII, based on the evidence I think Richard III murdered his nephews, Edward V and Prince Richard. Richard III is guilty because he had several opportunities to murder the two princes, Tyrell’s confession, Henry VII’s Bill of Attainder, and the pre-contract.
