So the last of these chapters pretty much came exactly as i was expecting them to. The first half of the book i was expecting a total uprising and the lower party members taking over the inner party. After a while it became pretty obvious that nothing of this sort was going to happen and that Winston and Julia were eventually going to fall to the party.(i did not think so much for the party though)
One of the things about in this section was that O' Brien was actually very honest with Winston. He told Winston the parties true intentions and that all they really cared about was power and not the people. I liked the part where Winston started talking back against O' Brien even though he was going through torture and everything. He says that Big Brother can not rule with hatred and fear and that they will eventually fail.
The way that they eventually got Winston to drop his emotions was both horrible and brilliant, putting a persons worst fear right in front of them can make someone do anything. Winston dropped Julia like that. In the end when he and Julia met he noticed two changes in her one was that she had thickened up and the other was that she had stiffened also, which symbolizes that even she really died not literally but spiritually.
