Greetings,
I have been set a task by my English teacher to write an interior monologue on the character of Syme. For those that have read 1984, I was just wondering if it would be plausible to make his character as someone who was actually against the party. I am setting the monologue about three years before the story begins and want to foreshadow how he dies.
A theory that i had was that he was pretending to be loyal but was actually plotting to overthrow the government as revenge against their vaporizing his parents. Would this be a plausible storyline considering what happens in the book?
I know that he is described as someone who is extremely orthodox but want to somehow make it out as if he was putting on a false show of love towards the party. From reading, he seems as if he is conniving and calculating.
If you wouldn't recommend this idea, what other ideas could i develop? Might i add that the monologue must be set before the novel begins.
Many Thanks,
G.K.
