Love is Confusing.. (1984)

        “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it but you can feel it all over.” Or at least you think you can. Winston, the main character in the novel, 1984 by George Orwell may have feelings for a certain dark-haired girl. He carries mixed feelings which are messing with his head. Winston hates yet loves this dark-haired girl. One can make connections with Winston and how he is currently feeling about the dark-haired female. It is not difficult to make a connection with Winston and his situation he is going through. Winston is confused when the dark-haired girl hands him a note with those written shocking words!

In part one, chapter one, Winston notices this certain dark-haired girl whom he shows hatred towards and makes it obvious he does not like her. He mentioned not liking her because she was young and beautiful. Although Winston shows obvious hate towards her, one could see he loves her and is upset he cannot have her as he pleases. This is shown when Winston dreams about the dark-haired girl and is amazed. This dream showed that Winston shows many sexual and loving feelings towards the dark-haired girl. What confuses Winston the most is the nit the dark-haired girl hand him in part two chapter one in the novel.

Very much like Winston I am currently in a situation almost like his. There’s this guy, whom I have been crushing on since freshmen year. He noticed me last summer; he has the best personality. But of course I believe it’s all too good to be true. I happen to have some problems with one of his best guy friends. What worries me at this point is I cannot tell if their both just making this a game and laughing behind my back while I fall for it. I wouldn’t say I’m inlove with the kid, because I’m not, but I can relate to the confusion Winston is feeling.

The term love is quiet confusing. The comparison made with Winston helps me understand what Winston is going through and how he feels. After making my connection with Winston one can feel how he’s feeling and the tone of the story ant this point. Winston will probably continue to be suspicious of the dark haired- girl working for the paroles, whether she is or not. Hopefully Winston doesn’t fall too fast in love with her.
