  1. 1984 Part 3

  2. Chapter 1 • Winston wakes up in the Ministry of Love, this is the place where there is no darkness, the lights are always on. • The cell contains many people, the Party criminals seem traumatized • He meets a Prole woman with the last name Smith, they both think she might be his mother • He meets Ampleforth, left “God” in a translation and then he is brought towards “Room 101”

  3. Parsons tells Winston that his daughter turned him in, he said “Down with Big Brother!” in his sleep • He dreams about Julia, he wants to double his pain to save her • He still believes in the Brotherhood and he hopes they will send him a razor blade to kill himself • O’Brien enters the room, he is the Operator of the Ministry of Love • A guard mangles his arm

  4. Chapter 2 • Winston admits to a series of crimes • Winston is emotionally and physically abused and he wants to find out what they want him to confess • O’Brien says that he has been observing him for the past seven years • He is in a torture machine • O’Brien keeps turning the machine, his crime was refusing to accept the Party’s power and relaying on his memory

  5. Winston becomes brainwashed • O’Brien informs Winston that Julia has long betrayed him, quickly and easily. • O’Brien tells him that they convert "traitors" before they kill them so that there are no martyrs • Through many more paragraphs of prolonged torture, Winston relearns "doublethink" and eventually, "crimestop."

  6. Chapter 3 (schmoop.com) • After weeks of torture, O’Brien tells Winston that he is about to enter the second stage of the three-stage process of "reintegration": learning, understanding, and acceptance. • O’Brien reveals a cornucopia of information to start the process of reintegration: the Party is indestructible because it seeks absolute power for power’s sake; the Party will succeed indefinitely because it controls the only reality that matters – the human mind; the Party shall eventually be rid of all enemies because all private loyalties will be abolished. • O’Brien likens a picture of the future to be "a boot stamping on a human face – forever." It will be a hateful world of power, manifesting itself in "inflicting pain and humiliation."

  7. O’Brien forces Winston to look in the mirror for a picture of "humanity." Winston cries upon seeing his deterioration; he looks to be 60-years-old with the grayness, emaciation, and a not-so-straight spine. • O’Brien humiliates Winston by ridiculing this picture of "the last man.” • Winston lashes back, and O’Brien recognizes that there is one last strength: Winston has not yet betrayed Julia.

  8. Chapter 4 • After weeks or maybe months, the torture eases. Winston grows fatter and stronger. • Voluntarily, Winston tries to make himself believe in Party slogans, and writes them down. He tries to learn to be stupid. • One night, he screams out Julia’s name in the middle of a nightmare. Guards come for him, and he realizes that he has a new goal: to die hating the Party. • To die hating the Party would be freedom • Winston faces O’Brien, and tells him he hates Big Brother. O’Brien replies that the time has come for Winston to go to Room 101, because now he must not only obey, but love Big Brother.

  9. Chapter 5 • O’Brien tells Winston that the worst thing in the world is in Room 101. • For Winston, that thing is rats • O’Brien threatens Winston by showing him a cage of large, vociferous rats, waiting to gnaw away at Winston’s face. • Winston, with the rats just inches away from his face, is terrified. • He shouts, “Do it to Julia!”

  10. Part 6 • At 3 p.m. one day, months later, Winston sits at the Chestnut Tree Café. He is content, and now accepts all that the Party says and does. • He reminisces about that time back in March, 1985 when he had seen and spoken to Julia again. She had stiffened, her physique had coarsened and her face had been scarred by the torture endured, presumably. • They spoke of their mutual betrayal and how torture can change people. They agreed to meet again, though neither intended to carry it out.

  11. Winston cries. He remembers happy family life with his mother and sister, but wonders if it is a false memory; he listens to the telescreen spewing propaganda that he now truly accepts. • He daydreams about his time at the Ministry of Love. Most of all, though, he kind of wants to die via bullet to the brain. • He looks up at the picture of Big Brother on the telescreen, and feels joy over his love for him. He has achieved a victory over the traitor he used to be.
