Step 1:Review Chapter 1of 1984, paying particular attention to setting. Identify three or more specific descriptions or details about Winston's home at Victory Mansions Apartments as presented in Chapter 1 of the novel. For each detail, explain the mood or atmosphere created for the reader.
"...hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats."- trying to describe the house as old and in bad condition
"It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times, it was seldom working..."- the house was not upkept
"...there seemed to be no color in anything"-plain and lifeless
Step 2: How does this setting affect Winston psychologically?
It affects Winston because he thinks of it in an optimistic way.
