Part Three; Chapter Three.

At this point I feel so completely bad for Winston. The poor man is being tortured through his mind more than his body. If I was asked any one the questions that O'Brien is asking, I would answer the same way Winston is. He is still remembering the truth and sticking by what he knows to be true. As much as O'Brien is trying, he is not able to change Winston's mind at this point. I also felt bad for him when he went to see his body in the mirror. I can't imagine how horrible it would be to look into a mirror and see a completely different person. He has been treated so horribly that he can't even recognize himself. That alone could take away a man's spirit and will to live. The next thing that happens that I find to be very tragic is the fact that in the end O'Brien tells him he will die. I question now, what is Winston feeling? How will he react? If he knows he is going to die he might just give up. He might let O'Brien kill him now. I think that if I were him I would be scared. He knows his future. I think Winston will do all he can do now to control the present. He will get out all of his beliefs and views before they kill him. He seems like the type of guy who will go down fighting. Even O'Brien says he is a "difficult case", I completely agree. Winston is going to cause more problems for the Party while he is still alive.
