Part II Chapter X

Winston awakes to singing with Julie who decideds to make coffee but the tove strangely is out of oil. They dress and Winston observes the singing wsherwoman from the window. He describes her as beautiful despite of her size. As he goes on abou how many children she may have had, he realises that he and Julia can never have aild. However, he decides that any hope for 'the future lies in the proles'. He decide that is Goldstein's final message, even without reading the book. The future belongs to the proles who will stay alive passing on the vitality which the Party does not share but cannot kill.
Winston asks if Julia remembers the thrush singing to them. She replies that it was singing to please itself.-then not even that, just singing. Winston decides the birds sing, the proles sing, the Party does NOT sing.
He says 'We are the dead' Julia repeats this. Suddenly an iron voice from behind re-iterates 'You are the dead' and comesfrom behind the picture. They are ordered not to move and do nto dare disobey. The picture falls and reveals the telescreen. The house is surrounded someone climbs in, others rush up the stairs all in black uniform, wearing ironshod boots and brandinsh trucheons. Winston is kicked, Julia punched,falls and carried away.
Charrington enters, appears changed, others obey him, dropped his cockney accent and Winston realises he is the voice from the telescreen and a member of the thought police.
