Parallelism

"The pencil felt thick and awkward in his fingers. He began to write down the thoughts that came to his head. He wrote in large clumsy letters..." (277)

I thought this was a very obvious parallel between the first time Winston began writing and well, this time. Last time Winston wrote it said, "His pen slid voluptuously over the smooth paper, printing in large neat capitals -- DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER." That is literally the exact opposite of what Winston is doing now and I don't think for a second it was a mistake. Both of these occurrences are so drastically different because Winston is so drastically different. On page 277 Winston has given in to Big Brother. I also think that the fact that he can barely write now that he has given in to Big Brother shows just how much they have severely impacted Winston mentally. Also, this time instead of writing about his hatred for Big Brother and everything he represents he writes the 3 ideologies of the party.
