Helen's Chapter Summary.

Winston is still in the Ministry of Truth, but the torture has lessened, and his physical condition is improving. He discovers that the Party had been watching him very closely for seven years and that they even have soundtracks and photographs of him and Julia. He realizes the futility of his decision to set himself up against the Party.
During one of his dreams, he wakes up shouting Julia's name and realizes that he will have to start the torture process all over. After a moment, O'Brien comes in and orders him to Room 101, where the third stage of Winston's lessons will take place.

“For the first time he perceived that if you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself”
“stupidity was a necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain”
Concerns: In a society where you can’t even trust your basic instincts to govern yourself

“How many years had he added to his servitude by that moment of weakness?”
Concerns: totalitarian government, goes as far as to control your emotions. One slip and you are severely punished. The notion is supposed to be frightening
