Winston goes to his job in the Records section of the Ministry of Truth, where he works with a “speakwrite” and destroys obsolete documents. When Winston has to go to work, he has to deal with all the lies that his job throws at him. He realizes that even though he knows the "real" truth, Big Brother and his job (the Ministry of Truth) are not going to allow him to reveal it.
It seems as if everyone who works with Winston knows the "real" truth as well, but they have bought in to what Big Brother is trying to establish-a self controling type system, where whatever they say goes, and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. Winston can't even enjoy sex because the government won't allow him to.
This affects Winston not only physically, but mentally as well. With Big Brother shoving down what they consider the truth, Winston has to remain totally oblivious of the situation and hope that everything will turn out for the better good.
