Winston was portrayed as slightly flat to make it easy to jump into the character's shoe; which is a brilliant way to create a character. In addition to that 1984 isn't a novel where the characters...

Bradbury's prose isn't any better it's just more poetic which is exactly what I've been talking about. Imagery and flowery writing doesn't equate to brilliant writing. As for the Bradbury excerpt...
