Nineteen Eighty-Four/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Winston does enjoy listening to him wax on about his trade, because it is infinitely more interesting than listening to any other topic Syme has to talk about.

** Also a plot point mixed with [[Foreshadowing]]. Winston is well aware the Party wants it'sits members to be a mix of just stupid enough to believe what they are told and just competent enough to do their jobs regardless. SymneSyme is noted by Winston to be too close to being intelligent enough to realize the Party's lies for what they are, and predicts they will eliminate him as a precaution eventually.

* [[Unperson]]: Happens to him midway through the story. Becomes a plot point when {{spoiler|O'Brien}} makes an indirect reference to him, which tips Winston off he may be speaking with a Brotherhood member, as it would be incredibly stupid to do so otherwise.
