The temptation I am gonna talk about is the one that has recently been happening in Egypt. The Egyptian people were tempting/ threatening there leader to get out of his spot and leave there county alone. The temptation in that would be the leader Hosni Mubarak had the choice to listen to his people and leave or he could stay and keep getting paid. He decided to step down due to the threats from his people.
To connect this with the book 1984 it has to do with how Winston has the temptation to tell more people about what his government is doing to them. The egyptian people did what Winston wishes he could, do but its just so early he needs more people to be able to take on such a controling government known as " Big Brother".
