Where did Winston smith work?

Answer 1

Winston Smith is the protagonist of the novel 1984 by George Orwell. He is an unhappy member of the Outer Party and a worker at the Ministry of Truth. Winston can see through the Ingsoc way of manipulating. He hates the Party and the Big Brother but can only does so secretly because expressing opposition in any slightest way would cost him his life.

Answer 2

He was an office worker at the Ministry of Truth. Assigned to the Records Department, he worked on re-writing past articles and news stories so that they conformed with what the Party was now claiming.

In brief, he would first be given an assignment, in which it was refered to as a "correction", never as a re-write. Then, he'd re-write it. Then he'd pass on the revision, so that others in other departments could go and get all the old "mistaken" copies and destroy them.

Finally, he'd take the instructions he had got at the start, and drop them in the "memory hole", a tube that led to an incinerator. That way when it was all done, there'd be nothing to show that there had even been a change made.

Answer 3

He is part of a large clerical team that is working to reform the standard English language into 'Newspeak', the compressed and limited form of speech favoured by Big Brother's 'EngSoc' (English Socialist) regime which is designed to restrict linguistic expression to the extent whereby ultimately, people will not even have the language to express any feelings of dissent.

Answer 4

Yes, he does. The novel says that Winston's greatest pleasure is his work.

Answer 5

The Ministry of Truth.
