In this character analysis I will tell you the physical characteristics and personality traits of Winston and Parson. Here is what I've found about Winston and Tom Parson:
First we are going to look at Winston. Winston is a guy that has a smallish and frail figure. In the book , you can find this in book one page 2 and it says "He moved over to the window: a smallish, frail figure, the meagerness of his body merely emphasized by the blue overalls which were the uniform of the party." Another physical characteristic of Winston is that he has very fair hair. This characteristic is also found on page 2 of book one and it says "His hair was very fair, his face naturally sanguine, his skin roughened by coarse soap and blunt razor blades and the cold of the winter that had just ended." Another characteristic is that he had a varicose ulcer on his right ankle. This characteristic can be found on page one of book one it says "...and Winston, who was thirty-nine, and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle..."
For Winston's personality, it's found throughout book one chapter one through three. One of the personality traits of Winston is that he was rebellious. He was rebellious by keeping a diary recording what he was thinking. He didn't support Big Brother(bb) and the Party. In his diary, in the first chapter of book one he writes "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER". He thinks about the government a lot and he thinks that they don't tell the truth while they (the government) talk. Winston's job is Ministry of Truth to where he hides the truth and makes sure no one will try to tell the truth. Also in chapter 3, he thought it was weird that no one has heard of Big Brother and the Party until the 1960's.
Lastly, we will talk about Tom Parson and his physical characteristics and his own personality tests. Tom, as said in the book, is a fat and sweaty guy. This physical characteristic can be found on page 22 in chapter 2 of book one and it says "He was a fattish but active man.." Another physical characteristic of Tom Parson is that he isn't that smart. Also found on page 22 in chapter 2 of book one it says "...of paralyzing stupidity...." Tom and his wife are known as dull people, and they are both dull Party members. Tom Parson was also obnoxious.
For Tom's personality he is known as a "good citizen". He's a good citizen because he is fully devoted to Big Brother and the Party. On page 21 of chapter 2 it says "....full-sized poster of Big Brother." What does this tell you about the Parsons? They love the idea of having a Big Brother. It is also known that Tom has a "perfect" family because his children are with the Spies. Also on page 21 it says "On the walls were scarlet banners of the Youth League and the Spies..."
Ways that Winston and Tom Parson are two different people is because Winston doesn't like the Party and Big Brother, but Tom is a devoted person to Big Brother and the Party. Another difference from the two is that Winston doesn't have a "perfect" family, but Tom does. Winston doesn't follow the rules, and that can be found when he keeps a diary of his thoughts and he hides it because he isn't to supposed to have one. Tom Parson follows the rules because he agrees with everything the Party has to say and also he has a "scarlet banner of the Youth League and the Spies..."
Ways that they are similar is that they both have a job at the Ministry of Truth. They both know each other from where they work, and they do the same thing as one another at the job.
