Quote
"His cigarette had gone out and he laid it carefully on the endge of the table...but a cigarette end must not be wasted" (62).
"and the remaining tobacco fell out of Winston's cigarette" (63).
Significance
Here, I feel that the cigarette is a metaphor for something. This is because authors don't do things on accident. The fact that the cigarette was brought up at all means it has some sort of importance. I feel that he is trying to say that something that happened in that room was a waste because he says it is a cigarette end is a terrible thing to waste, and in the end, the tobacco fell out, rendering it useless. Perhaps it was his patience, maybe it was his mind. Hopefully, I will find out later.
