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.

Some call it characterization.

There are two ways that Hemingway develops characters in the novel: direct characterization and indirect characterization. Most direct characterization is done with Cohn. Hemingway needs to make sure that the reader understands Cohn and his character traits, so he tells the reader things like "He was a nice boy, a friendly boy, and very shy, and it made him bitter," (page 12). This type of characterization gives the reader very clear descriptions of the character that show their development and personalities in a very easy to understand way. The reader now understands why Cohn does what he does, because they are told that he is bitter and what made him that way.
The other type of characterization is one that must be understood by the reader. It can be seen in the ways that the characters interact. Mike makes fun of Cohn and insults him for hanging around Brett. This tells the reader that Mike is very insecure. Also, Brett chooses Jake to talk to with her problems, showing the reader that Jake is a good listener and kind. Hemingway is able to show the reader what the character is like instead of just telling them.
The effects of these to types are that simple, strong character traits can be established through the direct method. This ensures that the larger, more important traits are understood by the reader. The more complex character traits and character developments can be shown to the reader through interactions with others, creating a better picture than the first method. Both are used by Hemingway, but their intentions and results are slightly different.
