Winston is mentioned in a quote from the book 1984 that goes, "He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past." ("Orwell, 1984, p. 219). The Inner Party's influence in 1984 is described in this quote, which is uttered by the character O'Brien. Both the present and the past are under the Party's oppressive control. This quote demonstrates how the Party is able to continue to exert control over Winston and other citizens, who are under its sway.
