Character analysis

This character analysis will be between the characters Winston and Parsons, who is Winston's neighbor. As far as physical characteristics goes, to put it bluntly, Parsons is fat and Winston isn't. Also Winston has an ulcer that he can't seem to get rid of even though he is taking pills for it. As far as personalities go, Winston is a thoughtful person as well as paranoid. Underneath all of that though,  Winston is a rebellious individual who wants to get rid of Big Brother. This is shown when Winston writes in his diary "Down with Big Brother" several times. Parsons on the other hand is a little bit different. Parsons is a man who knows almost nothing and he blindly follows what he is told to do and doesn't ever rebel. Since Parsons doesn't really think for himself, it's hard to determine what his personality is since he blindly follows. Winston on the other hand, as stated before, is a rebellious individual and it is seen all through out the chapters.  His anxiety and paranoia are understandable since he knows that at any given moment, someone from the government could be watching his every move. An example of his paranoia was when Mrs. Parsons knocked on Winston's door and he thought that it was the Thought Police. It surfaced again after Winston saw the children and they accused him of a thought crime. All throughout the chapters Winston gets more and more paranoid due to him not being obedient and following the rules like he is supposed to. This is very different from Parsons considering all Parsons ever did was promote Big Brother and follow orders to the letter.
