Parsons

The Parsons live in the appartment across from Winston. In Chapter two, Mrs. Parsons knocks on Winston's door and asks him if he can help her unclog her sink. When he goes over there to unclog the sink, hen is harassed by her out of control children who are dressed in the unform of the Spies. They are rowdy children who are out of the control of their mother and are die hard supporters of the Party. When the children come out of their room, they pretend to hold Winston at gun point and shout slogans of the Party. These unruly children show a defined contrast between radical supporters of the Party and people like Winston. The children have been brainwashed since birth to worship the party and it has turned them into blood craving loonatics, "'We want to see the hanging! We want to see the hanging!' chanted the little girl, still capering around" (23). Even the two year old girl has been raised to find pleasure in the murder of "traitors" to the Party. I think that the children are examples of how people who are raised under oppresion and know no other live can grow up to love it.
