Syme (1984)

Syme (1984)

Syme is a minor character in George Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty Four.

He is an employee at the Ministry of Truth, in the Newspeak section. He enjoys destroying words and is very profound in his belief that Newspeak will replace English by 2050.

Winston Smith, the novel's protagonist, knows him, and socializes with him from time to time. Winston predicts that, because of his intelligence, he will be vaporized, in order to ensure he does not betray the party. His prediction proves correct, as later on in the novel, he is erased from all records in the Ministry of Truth, as if he never existed.
