1984: Part 3, Chapter 6 - THE LAST ONE!!!!

Right thank the Saints it’s the last chapter. Winston is out of the Ministry of Love, he is in the Chestnut Tree Café - previously inhabited by the rebels in his photo. He is drinking copious amounts of gin and playing chess by himself?? He sees Julia, they exchange a brief conversation but Winston decides not to follow her. He goes back to the café and cries at a victory announcement on the telescreen.

(331) ‘A ray of sunlight slanting through a window fell yellow on the dusty table-tops’

  • Reminiscent of the Golden Country - shows that he now reveres the Party in the same way he once admired his rebellion of them.

(335) ‘She walked obliquely away across the grass as though trying to get rid of him’

  • She still has her survival instincts - this gives the impression that she will continue to rebel.

(335) ‘They could have lain down on the ground and done that if they had wanted to’

  • He cant even say sex anymore.

(339) ‘As though for reassurance he looked up at the imperturbable face in the portrait’

  • He realises how powerful they are and finds comfort in not feeling so powerless as he did before.

(342) ‘the final, indispensable, healing change had never happened, until this moment.’

‘The long-hoped-for bullet was entering his brain’

‘learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache’

‘self-willed exile’

‘He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.’

OH THANK ALL THE SAINTS IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
