1984 Chapter 1 part 2

2/23/09

"At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive had welled up in him, and the taking of minor risks suddenly seemed stupid...It was a physical problem that had to be solved: how to get in touch with the girl and arrange a meaning"(109).

This quote is significant because it is the climax of Winston,s life. He has now found something to live for, love. Being a thought criminal he previously expected for his life to end earlier than expected, and that he would get caught. However, now being in love with the dark haired girl has sort of turned his life upside down. It will be interesting to see how much further Winston will go, both in a positive and negative way based on this new relationship.

Gravitate: to move forward.

Niggling: small and of little importance.
