Boringness

Some of you are complaining about how dull of a character Winston is. Are you familiar with the phrase the banality of evil? Even the most cruel and darkest society people don't walk around with horns and a pitchfork. The same holds true for the good guys. They don't have halos and they aren't involved in high speed chases on page too. You guys have been spoiled by fiction and TV; most of life is just routine. Winston doesn't have any ace in the hole; he has to go about his daily life so that he won't starve to death even though he knows that the TP will get him. For those of you who are intrested in other stories that have this level of excitment and darkness (aka the events that inspired him to write this story) read darkness at noon (the purges) or one day in the life of... (gulag). If it simply gets gets too boring for you relax, take a deep breath and remember it is a short book.
