Summary - 1984 The story begins with Winston, the main character, coming back to his apartment from his job at the Ministry of Truth. Winstonıs job was to change recorded events, predictions made by the Party, and documents to make then ³correct². In actuality his job was to falsify history to whatever was in the Partyıs current best interest. Whatever the Party said must always be correct and undisputable, there fore history was constantly being rewritten by people like Winston.
