1984 Part Three Ch. 4-6

"Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don't care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!" (286).

"Under the spreading chestnut tree/I sold you and you sold me-" (293).

Julia, as we all know, was Winston's weakness. Once O'Brien figured that out, he thought Winston would break under the pressure of the rats. Instead, Winston was clever when he frantically screamed for Julia to be tortured instead of himself. Winston, as hard as he tried to deny it to himself, did not mean any of that. Fortunately, O'Brien was too self-centered to realize Winston was tricking him. Winston was lucky he got a way with it. He defeated O'Brien. O'Brien never reached the goal of making Winston sane. The human being took over O'Brien's childish pride he had for himself and the Party. Nobody watches Winston or cares what he does anymore. He is still the same man he was before he got arrested. Julia, on the other hand, used the Party's torture as an excuse to why she doesn't love him anymore. Julia betrayed Winston and ironically, she had been the one to promise Winston that she would never stop loving him. Winston still showed his affection to her until he realized there was no point to it. Julia was a shell the Party filled up. She was just like the rest of the brainwashed citizens of Oceania and once again Winston was alone. O'Brien was able to get into Winston's head by pushing out the sweet memories of his mother and sister, but not to the point where Winston truly loved Big Brother. At the Chestnut Tree Cafe, Winston began to tear up at the words "I sold you and you sold me-" just like Rutherford did. Clearly, Rutherford, Jones and Aaronson were not made up people. This connects back to Julia's betrayal. Winston will simply live a meaningless life. If he dies, it won't matter. Nobody will notice. The cycle of Big Brother and the Party will keep turning.
