Every Thought
"And the people under the sky were aso very much the same--everywhere, all over the world, undereds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies..." (pg 220) Stream of consciousness is what the majority of the book is composes of. Apart of the dialoge and the descriptions of what Winston and those around him are doing, the book is just all his inner thoughts just like the quote provided. Everyone has those times when we just sit around and think deeply upon an issue. It's through this thinking process that we can actually figure things out that we wouldn't have been able to do without the deep thinking. Through stream of consiousness in the novel, the narrator makes it natural to dwelve deeper and deeper into certain subjects. Through this, we get numerous themes from the book. However, we don't only get new themes from the novel, but we can better understand what the author is trying to get across in the novel. If it was just the author telling us this directly, it would be very dry and dull, but by using Winston's thoughts, the audience then pays more attention to the deep thought given on a certain matter which has a greater effect on the novel as a whole.
