Sam Walters Period 4 Old Man (at pub) ? (indirect characterization) bent but active old man, has a prawn-like mustache. As Winston is walking through the prole district, he sees an old man walk into a pub and decides to follow him and ask him some questions to figure out if life is actually better now than it was in the past, but the old man?s memory has failed him, and Winston doesn?t obtain a single clue to what life was like in the past. The old man symbolizes that the past has disintegrated and any and all efforts to recover it are gone. Winston makes the statement that the past is left to the proles, who will only forget it.
