The social criticism in george orwell'S 1984

4.3.6 Mr. Charrington
Mr. Charrington initially has a high tolerance for one's privacy. According 
to all people have privacy that shall not be disturbed by others, even Party has not 
the right to disturb to him. 
Mr. Charrington had made no difficulty about letting the room. Nor did he 
seem shocked or become offensively knowing when it was made clear that 
Winston wanted the room for the purpose of the love affair (Orwell, 
1961:137). 
Privacy, he said, wasa veryvaluable thing. Everyone wanted a place where 
they could be alone common occasionally. And when they had such a place, 
it was only common courtesy in anyone lese who knew of it to keep his 
knowledge to himself (Orwell, 1961:137). 
But Mr. Charrington does not last long, because with the Party's control and 
effort during the ambush of Winston and Julia in his own attic, Mr. Charrington 
appeared in a completely different style and appearance. 
A man stooped to obey. The cockney accent had disappeared; Winston 
suddenly realized whose voice it was that he had heard a few moments ago 
on the telescreen. Mr. Charrington was still wearing his old velvet jacket, 
but his hair, which had been almost white, had turned back. Also, he was 
not wearing his spectacles. He gave Winston a single sharp glance, as 
though verifying his identity, and then paid no more attention to him 
(Orwell, 1961:224). 
With such a thoroughly changing look, it makes Winston confuse to 
recognize Mr. Charrington, last of Winston realizes that Mr. Charrington is 
nothing but a Thought police.

He was still recognizable, but he was not the same person any longer. His 
body had straightened, and seemed to have grown bigger. His face had 
undergone only formation. The black eyebrows were less bushy, the 
wrinkles were gone, the whole lines of the face seemed to have altered; even 
the nose seemed shorter. It was the alert, cold face of a the first time in his 
life he was looking, with knowledge, at a member of Thought Police 
(Orwell, 1961:224).
