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’
(335) ‘She walked obliquely away across the grass as though trying to get rid of him’
(335) ‘They could have lain down on the ground and done that if they had wanted to’
(339) ‘As though for reassurance he looked up at the imperturbable face in the portrait’
(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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
