In this book 1984 there are many ideas and images that have thematic importance. Some of these symbols include Winston’s paperweight, the St. Clements church picture with the rhyme, and the phrase “the place where there is no darkness. These images represent Winston’s attempts to escape or undermine the oppressive rule of the Party. The picture represents a stolen past and also the Party’s power and betrayal of humanity. The song relates to Winston and Julia’s crazy relationship. Julia is Winston’s lover who claims she had affairs with other ruling Party members. The paperweight symbolizes the past but also has to do with Winston and how he can dream without fear. The phrase above “ the place where there is no darkness” has to do with Winston’s feeling of hope. Another symbol is the prole women singing outside of the window. With Winston being frustrated and desperate to understand how the party has such absolute power, this shows or foreshadows the overthrow of the Party by the working class.
