So really, there was no place but down from where Winston was.and I think he was terrified of the fall. He enjoyed being the teacher of a queen - there is no greater power trip than knowing the queen of your country listens to you and asks for your suggestions, your guidance in her own polite way. He thought by burning the portrait, he could continue the war he had been waging for years now, fighting the fact that he was losing power.īecause what was he, if he had no power? I think that episode really explored Winston very gently broaching that idea - he showed interest in painting, but if he wasn't a great artist, one people would be in awe of, then he likely wouldn't be satisfied with. The men around him who he was never threatened by because they knew they couldn't take him were circling like vultures. The portrait was a slap of reality that his time in his prime was over. He wanted to be the adult man, in his prime, holding all the cards and being the one everyone hated but knew they HAD to deal with. Instead of doing so gracefully, learning that the loss of some powers meant the gaining of others, he resisted and tried to keep a hold of the same image and position he had held for a good chunk of his life. Winston was having a serious struggle dealing with moving into the next stage of his life. If you'd like to help contribute to the wiki, send us a message!
