1984 - 9

• "Winston woke up with the word 'Shakespeare' on his lips." (p. 31)
  

William Shakespeare is an English poet and playwright and is arguably the greatest writer in the English language. Shakespeare wrote comedies and histories at the beginning of his career, and then focused on writing tragedies. He wrote in a lyrical and emotional style, putting emphasis on love, beauty and mortality. Orwell alludes to Shakepeare in this passage as Winston illustrates Julia undressing herself. Winston vividly describes the delicacy in which Julia tosses her clothes aside, using language similar to Shakespeare's respected writing.
