Your reasoning for 1984 was brilliant, and completely wrong. It does raise the twin questions of what 1984 would have been like if written by Robert E. Howard (or even worse, John Norman)

Heh... it's telling that I thought it might be someone philosophising in preparation for a major upset of society -- I just assumed they'd do it with a huge sword while wearing a loincloth.

If written by Robert E. Howard then Winston would have twisted the rat cage into a lump of scrap metal, escaped and killed the entire inner party setting himself up as ruler and liberating the proles.

I've not actually read any John Norman apart from the odd scrap. From what understand he would do similar but liberate only the male proles.
