BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU (act 5)

These are the words that stood out to me most at the end of the first two paragraphs of 1984 by George Orwell.

So far, judging from the first two paragraphs alone, the world in 1984 seems strange and a tad bleak. First there are harsh winds, next the elevator doesn't work and Winston has an ulcer in his right ankle so the stairs are a challenge for him, and lastly there are posters that scale the walls of every single floor of the building that look much like the one above reading, "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU." From this I can predict that Winston, and anyone else living in this kind of world, must hold a fear in their gut that nothing in their lives goes unnoticed by "big brother."
