1984: Conclusion

War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. These are the slogans of the world of 1984. The characters are trapped in a world where everything that ever existed is false, and everything that never existed is real. Living in a world like this would get confusing and overwhelming.

However the only thing that was keeping Winston sane was believing that he wasn’t the only one against the party and that there were others like him. The only thing that was keeping Julia sane was rebelling in her own way and believing that the party couldn’t get inside you and change your emotions. Little did they know that the things keeping them sane weren’t real; Winston believed that O’Brien was on his side but he was wrong and Julia believed that her thoughts and emotions were safe, but she to was wrong. Both Winston and Julia were living meaningless lives until they met each other and once they were separated their lives became meaningless once again, though I’m sure The Party would disagree. The party had converted their minds into having love for nothing but the party. The party was happy with what it had accomplished but all happiness and love had been removed from Winston and Julia’s hearts and minds.

In the end all their rebellion and torture that they had been through became insignificant. The party had tortured them into obedience and in the end they did everything that the party wanted; including betraying their love for each other. All the sanity they ever had disappeared and it was as if their love and past lives never existed.
