After several betrayals by people that Winston trusted, he is brought to the Ministry of Love to be tortured and after having to face his biggest fear, he betrays Julia and tells on her, which he leads to her torture. The Party made Winston believe that his beliefs were a disease that could be cured.
At the end of the novel, Winston finds himself cheering on with the rest of the crowd for the Big Brother, and he walks off, happy with his new-found love.
The Party, with all its power, managed to brainwash Winston.
I enjoyed the book a lot, although it was a bit static in some parts and I would recommend it .
It is a brilliant idea that the book is based on, and also very pessimistic about the future at the time which is now our reality in some ways.
Orwell's classic dystopian novel is a book that everyone should read, and I wonder if you feel it's changed you.
