From the Paper:

"In 1984, George Orwell creates a dystopia in which the individual must conform to society in order to participate in it, and in which nonconformity results in death. George Orwell's character Winston Smith represents Orwell himself, because society distinguishes Winston as a minority of one, one that can never be right. The society in which Orwell lived differentiated Orwell as a lonely man with the courage to be alone, and Orwell was an individual with common sense rather than creativity, both characteristics of Winston Smith (Hopkinson). Orwell links man and society through collectiveness, if one is not part of society, society shuns him and tries to alter personality until conformity persists."
