Yet he inwardly rebels against the totalitarian world he lives in, which demands absolute obedience and controls him through the all-seeing tele screens and the watchful eye of Big Brother, symbolic head of the Party. In his longing for truth and liberty, Smith begins a secret love affair with a fellow-worker Julia, but soon discovers the true price of freedom is betrayal.
