"He had written it down at last, but it made no difference. The therapy had not worked. The urge to shout filthy words at the top of his voice was as strong as ever. (p. 69)"
This quote symbolizes Winston's frustration with not only "big brother," but the sexual frustration that he feels. In the community that Winston lives in, its is frowned upon to be with a man or woman. It is seen as just a "duty" to make the Ministry happy and to re-populate the community. I believe that Winston is frustrated with the sexual aspect of his community, but he is also frustrated with the "big brother" figure that is always watching him and controlling him. Winston's frustration shows that he is different from the other people because he feels emotion and wants to be different, he wants to go against "big brother" but he is afraid to get caught.
Good topic - how do you think his diary and trips to Mr. Charrington's shop play into this frustration?
