Utopia/Dystopia



I would have to say that Parsons himself lives in a Utopia.  Our
interaction with the character shows Parsons as "happy as a lark."  He
never finds fault with the world he lives in.  One could say that he does
in fact find fault, he is just good at concealing the fact.  With Parsons,
however, 
this seems unlikely.  
Could it be that only those people whose natural
instincts towards individuality have been successfully suppressed find
happiness in Orwell's world?  Or is it that those furtively holding onto
ideas of individuality experience the dystopia?  Is the premise that we
have a natural instinct towards individuality flawed?
