Chapter 1 — Winston Smith Begins His Forbidden Diary
publié le 25 août 2026 · 477 mots
On a cold and bleak April afternoon in London, thirty-nine-year-old Winston Smith returns to his dismal apartment in Victory Mansions. The city is dominated by large posters bearing the face of Big Brother and the captioning phrase warning that he is always watching. Inside his home, a telescreen broadcasts production figures and emits a constant sound that can be lowered but never completely switched off. Winston lives under the constant surveillance of the Thought Police, knowing that his every move and sound might be monitored. He works at the Ministry of Truth, a massive white pyramid structure that towers over the decaying capital alongside three other governing ministries. Seeking temporary relief from the oppressive environment, Winston drinks a cup of harsh Victory Gin and decides to commit a treasonous act by opening a vintage blank notebook he previously purchased in a shady secondhand shop. He dips an archaic pen into ink and nervously writes the date, April fourth, nineteen eighty-four, recording his forbidden thoughts on paper.
Writing in the diary triggers a wave of fragmented memories and reflections on his daily life, leading him to jot down a chaotic account of a war film he watched at the cinema the previous night. The film depicted refugees being brutally attacked by a helicopter over the Mediterranean Sea, horrifyingly showcasing a bombed raft carrying children and a desperate mother trying to protect her baby. While the surrounding Party members laughed and applauded the violence, a proles woman protested against exposing children to such horrors before being dragged away by the police. Winston reflects on why he felt compelled to begin writing today, tracing his motivation back to an unsettling encounter earlier that morning at the Ministry of Archives during the mandatory Two Minutes of Hate.
During the Two Minutes of Hate, Winston observed two notable individuals in the room. One was an athletic young woman with dark hair who worked in the Fiction Department and whom he deeply distrusted and feared as a potential spy. The other was O'Brien, a powerful member of the Inner Party whose cultured manners and enigmatic face inspired Winston with a secret, dangerous hope that he might share some hidden unorthodoxy. As the telescreen flickered to life, the image of Emmanuel Goldstein, the ultimate traitor and Enemy of the People, appeared on the screen. Goldstein delivered a scathing denunciation of the Party and Big Brother while footage of marching Eurasian soldiers played in the background. The assembly quickly descended into a collective frenzy of violent rage, screaming abuse and hurling objects at the screen. Winston found himself swept up in the overwhelming wave of mass hysteria, momentarily redirecting his murderous hatred toward the dark-haired girl before the visage of Big Brother finally appeared to restore calm. The chapter concludes with the hypnotized crowd rhythmically chanting praise to Big Brother in a deep, collective trance.

Chapter 5 — Winston Intervenes at Neighbor Apartment
publié le 20 oct. 2026 · 304 mots
Back in his room, Winston remembers he left his diary open with treasonous words, but a knock brings relief as Mrs Parsons asks for help with a clogged sink. He follows her to a chaotic apartment filled with pro-Party banners, sports gear, and the lingering smell of sweat. While he repairs the plumbing, Mrs Parsons speaks vaguely about her absent husband, Tom, who works at the Ministry of Truth. Their young children burst in wearing Junior Spies uniforms and viciously attack Winston with a toy gun and a slingshot, shouting accusations of thoughtcrime and expressing disappointment at missing an upcoming hanging.
After escaping the hostile children and a final slingshot attack from the boy, Winston returns to his flat to find the telescreen blaring military news about floating fortresses. He reflects on the terrifying reality of children in this society, who are systematically turned into loyal, savage instruments of the Party, often leading to parents being denounced by their own offspring. Seeking a sense of connection, he thinks about O’Brien and a past dream where a voice told him they would meet where there is no darkness. The telescreen soon broadcasts a report of a glorious victory in South India, immediately followed by the disheartening news that chocolate rations are being reduced.
Winston looks out the window at the bleak landscape of London and the massive pyramids of the Ministry of Truth, contemplating the omnipotence of the Party and the inescapable surveillance of Big Brother. Recognizing that he is essentially a dead man walking because of his secret dissent, he returns to his desk to continue his diary. He formalizes his greeting to the future, acknowledging that thoughtcrime is death itself, and takes precautions to hide his diary by placing a tiny speck of dust on the cover to detect if anyone opens it.
