In 1984, how do the tones in parts 1 and 2 differ?

We see this world through the eyes of Winston Smith who
judges the totalitarian society that he lives in. Because of this we easily adopt the
mood he has for the government and society in which he
lives.


In part 1, Winston struggles with the society and
curiously questions on the inside the purposes and motives of the Party. He has this
longing to rebel, but never truly acts on it in the open, only in the privacy of his
mind. Words I would use to describe the tone in this part include:
inquisitive, curious, contentious, questioning, and
tolerant.


In part 2, Winston and Julia
begin a risky relationship and Winston further believes in possible resistance to the
Party. Thus, this tone could be considered more daring, risky, unashamed,
motivated,
and
willing.
