9. In the beginning of the story we notice that Winston ran into the poster saying “ Big Brother is Watching you” in the building where he lives. Later on, he sees same poster with the same caption, all over the London streets and buildings. In this chapter he visit’s Mrs. Parson and he again sees this image in her apartment. This poster shows which people are the supporters of Big Brother and which people belong to the “Party.” What emerges in this chapter is an external conflict between the protagonist, Winston Smith, and the potential antagonist, as represented by the totalitarian regime of Big Brother. Complicating the conflict is the pervasiveness of Big Brother’s indoctrination of the general populous. Winston’s every movement, conversation, and action is under the surveillance of Big Brother or his minions. Winston’s desire for freedom is under constant attack. Be Aware Look at the crawly eyes. They follow you, Like a dog follows his master. Be aware! They want to play with your life Using the strategy of Monopoly. Be aware! They want to enslave you And hold you down under control. Be aware, be aware “Big Brother is Watching You” He is watching every move you make Every breath you take..
