who is syme
Syme is one of Winstonâs âfriendsâ he is a philologist, who specializes in Newspeak. He is on a team of people working on the eleventh edition of the newspeak dictionary. I think he is decribed as venomously orthodox, because he is just a person who could have a lot of passion towards something, but big brother has made everything all about him and now Syme only cares about Newspeak and the party.
