Was I supposed to dislike the society portrayed in this book? Winston was a fucking pussy and deserved what he got. The system described in the book seems like a good alternative to the "system" that we currently have.

It's been a while since I read 1984. IIRC all Winston used to do everyday was doing that government job and spending time at the corner of his room. If he does not need to be paid then he is wageslave without the wage, meaning just slave. That's what he actually ended up becoming at the end of the book anyway.

Good catch, common misconception about 1984 was that Orwell was describing his society as undesirable, he was a leftie after all.

Also OP, I agree that Winston was a pussy and I would add also a hypocrite (book itself points this out) and you're not supposed to find him a hero or idolize him, but how does that therefore mean the society presented in 1984 is good? Rather I would ask you, why do you find the society in 1984 to be preferable?

Because all of the negative aspects of humanity are stripped and we can enjoy life as part of a whole.

>> No.13873458

>>13873445
What parts of humanity would say are negative and stripped away in this society?
"Enjoying life as part of a whole", you may have a point there. In the end Winston does seem happy but he's also completely brainwashed. Do you not find this troubling? Not trying to paint a loaded question btw just no other way to phrase it. I don't think being brainwashed is inherently good or bad for the purposes of this question, all humans are brainwashed to some degree.
