Quoting 1984

Winston is sketchy about everything that he knows ever since he has figured out Oceania has been lying to him Winston says, "Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain"(page 41) This quotes shows that Winston is finally figuring out that Oceania is lying to him. He is unsure what the date is even the year which makes Winston feel insecure and uneasy that Oceania is taking advantage of him and brainwashing all of its people. Winston wishes that he could gather all of the proles and get them to revolt , or at least see that Oceania is lying to them, they then could all take over Oceania and be free.
