What a guy.

"He was as anxious as anyone else in the Department that the forgery should be perfect" (183). This is a kind of funny type of direct characterization. It shows that Winston, even thought he hates the forgery that takes place, still wants to make the perfect forgery. This is used to show just how powerful the impact of the Party can be. It can control his will even if he does not like it. He still has the desire to please the Party even when he hates them. This characterization also serves to show what will happen to Winston later on. At that moment, he is not completely free from the Party. He has given into them somewhat. That will only magnify once he is caught and tortured. This quote could also just show that he wants to be perfect so that he can hide his actions from the Thought Police. But that would nullify my entire blog, so let's say that that is not as good of an interpretation.
