Q3. O’Brien to Winston is someone he can relate to because Winston thinks that O’Brien
wants the same thing that he wants. O’Brien is someone that stands out to Winston
because he seems like someone who is going through the same thing Winston, himself, is
going through- doubt. Winston trusts O’Brien because he thinks that they both can send
messages to each other and trust each other. “But there was a fraction of a second when
their eyes metr, and for as long as it took to happen Winston knew-yes, jhe knew!- that

negative influence on Winston. She shows him real items, meets in secret and even makes
him go against the rules. Even if freedom is something everyone wants in life, you are
never free. Instead of following Julia, and letting her influence him, Winston could have
stayed away from the “Ministry of Love” if he stayed away from her.
Q8. Winston's capitulation at the hands of O’Brien was cruel. “All he had eyes for was the
truncheon in the guard’s hand” (p 239)
He had gone through pain, physically and
mentally. The guards that was with O’brien had also physically damaged him. The way
O’Brien talks to Winston about Big Brother and how nothing in his life matters but Big
