I believe Winston biggest conflict is being part of a party that basically runs his life. I mean there's a telescreen in his apartment which is always on that is set to monitor his every move. "Winston kept his back turned to the telescreen. Its was safer..." Who wants to be living in contest fear: having to think of everything your doing since "even a back can be revealing." In Oceania all citizens also are required to go to this 2 minute hate. A 2 minute hate is basically a gathering of citizen that are required to trash talk there nations enemy's but many many also take the time to vent there feeling."People were leaping up and down in there places and shouting at the top of there voices in an effort to drown the maddening bleating voice that came from the screen." Not only are you required to go this everyday in Oceania but, can't even write in his diary since it is considered an act of rebellion against his party. Writing in his diary was considered a thought crime. A thought crime in Oceania is considered to be the worst thing you can do and if your caught by the thought police you can get into big trouble. Not only is Winston in constant fear of being caught my by the thought police but he been of accused of thought crime by junior Spies. Which are kids that watch over adults to see if there are being loyal to there party.
