Winston gets tortured

When Winston is getting tortured you get to see some parts of Winston that we have not seen before. It is because he has changed. When you get tortured you will never be the same. It is just impossible to think the same and act the same. What they are doing to Winston is bending and stretching his back until it will almost snap. They are also using electroshock to kill is brain which will make him stop thinking things. This type of tortured does not leave any physical trail so no one will every be able to tell that Winston has been tortured it also changes you is such a way that you will do any thing but because of what they are doing you will only do what is true. This is because they can tell when you lie and to lie would be worse. What they do is find your fear and use that to get all the information that they need and then they use it to make you love the party before they do what they where going to do all along and that is to kill you.

the book

The thought that Goldstein talks about in the book are in many ways the truth behind the party slogans. It goes through and explains why the party does what it does but does not tell you why because there is no why, but to stay in power and to control people. In the book it talk about the need to stop the party but gives no way of how to do so because there is no way to stop the party. Also this shows that there is no hope for the prole because they are to be left in the dark and to be kept down except for when the party wants them to raise up. Also I do not remember if it here or if it is latter but they talk about how the upper class will always be in power because having iner-party parents does not mean that you will be in the iner-party this means that there is always a new group that is in power but it is also the same group. This means that there is no way to take down the party because the party is all ways new and is always working to stay in power.

a dream

Winston has had many dreams in the book that turn out to mean a lot to Winston. But the dream that he has in this part of the book is of something that has already happened. His dream is of his mother and sister and is about the last time he saw them. It takes place at the home when he was a child. They had gotten some chocolate and Winston wanted to have more then his ration of it so his mother gives him her part of the chocolate but that does not satisfy him so he steals his sister’s part of the chocolate. It is what Winston’s mother does that Orwell wants you to see and get. Winston’s mother takes the baby and hugs it and gives it some love because even though the chocolate is gone and there is nothing left you still will give love. This is the only case of actual love that Winston has ever seen and it was also the last time he saw either of them. He realizes what he did and feels bad about it because he feels that it was him that killed them and that he would like to go back and make things different. This is also may be why he loves Julia to make up for what he lost hen they took his mother and it may also be a way to fight the party to make up for what he did to his family.

no one wins but the party

Winston knows that no one fights the party and wins. And that sooner and latter every one gets caught and is ether killed or made to love the party. To fight the party is a lost cause because the party is everywhere in your life even when you think that you might be free. To Winston it is not a madder of if they will get caught but of when they will get caught. Then next question for Winston is of when they do get caught what will the party do to them. To both of them they do not want to be apart and they say they will stay faithful in their love to one another when they are found but they know the party changes every one and will make you do anything. So to them it is to enjoy the time that they have before they are fond and at that point they may never see each other again. It is a fight that they have to take because if they do not then they will be caught all the same for face crime of something like it so if you are going to get caught why not fight.

the different people

The one thing that makes Winston and Julia have different worldviews is there age. For Winston who is older he can remember a time before the party and has seen the party fully develop. To him the party lies are more evident also he sees problems and lies even if they have no affect on himself. Julia on the other hand has not seen life with out the party so she sees things a little differently then Winston. To her the party has always been there and will always be there because nothing that you do will hurt the party because all that they will do is kill you. Also Julia does have any feeling for the lies that affect other people but not her. To her what is will always be but to Winston things can and need to change. This is the fundamental difference that will come between there want to bring down the party later in the book.

Winston and his dislike for the world

Winston is at a point in the book where he does not like the world, he does not like where it is or for where it is going. To him the worlds use of goodness and purity is a lie and that in truth no one has any of those things. But because the party will not let people think other then that there is no hope for the world and that is the point that Winston is coming to. Also it is that the world has no truth and that the party is always lying to make themselves look good. I think that this does relate to what john says to Mond in the end of brave new world because in the brave new world world things are somewhat different but people are still controlled and think what the part wants them to think. But to john who does understand being told what to think so for him the people in the new world have no good or purity he in this case is the same as Winston he does not like the world that he is in and can not do any thing to stop the government and to free people.
