Character Analysis

Ampleforth

Ampleforth is another of Winston’s co-workers who works in the Records De- partment of the Ministry of Truth. He actually revises old poems and literature, translating them from Oldspeak to Newspeak and eliminating any anti-Party un- dertones. Ironically, even though his occupation is to implement repression as per the Party’s orders, his name in itself denotes an abundance of expression (’ample’ meaning an abundance of something).
