Winston Smith: A Tragic Hero

A tragic hero can be described as greatness or virtue in a dramatic tragedy, and he is destined to collapse, pain or failure. In 1984 by George Orwell, the leading character Winston Smith was explained as a tragic hero. In 1984, a fictitious future world was proposed and the totalitarian state dominated all aspects of people's lives. The whole population of Oceania is under totalitarian rule and I do not know anything about freedom of speech, behavior and thought. Winston Smith lives in a society where everyone must comply with government regulations.

In many literary works, the character seems like a hero but died for characters characterized by tragic defects, Hamlet of Haylet of Shake Spear, Okonk of Aceh's things, rose, and Orwell 1984 Winston Smith showed a single feature that in some way led to their death. These three tragic heroes are similar in many respects in a different way: the way they die, what their tragic flaws, and what they have learned. All three of these characters strongly express the necessary characteristics to be classified as a tragic hero.

The main character of 1984 Winston Smith was living a very small and tragic average life. Orwell was named his hero after Winston Churchill and Winston Churchill was a great leader of England during World War II (www.novelguide.com). The narrator expresses Winston as "a person without brains" (Orwell 194). The narrator said, "I am 39 years old," to clarify some of the features of Winston (Orwell 5). As a flawed contradictory hero, Winston lacks wisdom and strength using the knowledge of past opposition parties. Trust in Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Charington of Winston led to his torture. But Winston's trusted ability made him a human and hero of the world based on fraud. He did not appear in the novel but may not exist, but Oceania, the ruler of Oceania, grew to be a very important person. Wherever you are, Winston seems to have seen a post that wrote the message "Big Brother is watching you" on the face of Big Brother (Orwell 5)

Winston Smith is the major contemporary anti hero of the novel of 1984. He is a faithful party member, works in the ministry of truth and has changed its historical record to suit his brother, his leader. Winston lives in an eschatological environment in which the government fully manages all aspects of human society. He noticed that he and his people were lacking freedom and he secretly hated the party. One of the main drawbacks of Winston is that he lives through fear. He believed that he would get caught indefinitely, doing dishonest things such as keeping a diary, opposing the party. He has a bad relationship with his wife and currently lives apart from her. He has no one close to him who lives his life like a lonely person. When he first met Julia, he thought that he would pick him up as if she were a member of "thinking police." For this reason, his personal character judgment is very poor.
