Part 2 Chapter 8 (pg 174)
●Winston and Julia meet up at O’Brien’s place to announce that they are traitors of the party.
●O’Brien surprises them by turning off his tele-screen. Note: The scenery is described in much detail – the divisions of social class privileges and lifestyle.
●Once confirmed that they are alone and that no one can hear nor seen them, Winston confesses to O’Brien that both he and Julia are traitors of the party.
●O’Brien states that they will complete belong to the Brotherhood after they have read Goldstein’s book, the manifesto of the revolution.
●It is important to know that no one knows how many members there are exactly in the Brotherhood and that if they get caught they must confess and they will receive no help.
●O’Brien tells Winston that they will meet again in a place where there is no darkness.
Things to take note:
●O’Brien is able to finish the long-forgotten verse, “‘When I grow rich,’ said the bells of Shoreditch.” This shows that he is interested in the past.
●“To the past” Spoken by Winston; followed by O’Brien. “The past is more important”
History is important, however in 1984 they are trying to play ‘god’ by distorting the past, destroying figures and such. The technique here could be the repetition of them both speaking of the past – thus emphasizing the past is important.
Concerns:
●Social Class Division
