1984 Part III Chapters 3-4

Chapter 3

1. List the three stages in Winston’s reintegration.


Learning, understanding, acceptance
2. Contrast Winston’s previous knowledge of the book with what O’Brien tells him about it.
O’Brien says that the part of the book that says the proles will revolt against the Party, the
theory of which Winston strongly had faith in, is nonsense. O’Brien also tells Winston that he
was involved in writing the book, so the book was just a setup intended to deceive Winston.
3. Show how Winston’s opinion of why the Party holds power differs from its actual reason for
wanting power.
Winston thinks the Party wants power to help the feeble and cowardly average person to
survive; however, the Party actually seeks power purely for itself to gain even more power.
4. Analyze how the Party intends to gain power over its citizens.
The Party intends to gain absolute control of the mind, which will enable them to control reality,
which is a creation of the mind, thereby, eventually, gaining control of every conceivable thing –
including the citizens.
5. Generalize where Orwell places the Party and its beliefs in the stream of history.
Orwell places the Party and its beliefs in the period of Stalin’s rise to power and the institution
of Stalinism in USSR.
6. Decide how what you know of Winston’s life fits into the seven years in which he was framed by
O’Brien.
Winston has always been watched for seven years. O’Brien h
7. What does Winston believe will ultimately defeat the Party?
The spirit of mankind – the foundations of society (which the Party is attempting to extirpate)
8. Discuss how O’Brien uses a previous conversation with Winston to demoralize him now.
O’Brien plays the recording of Winston confessing to transgressions and vowing to commit
atrocious acts.
9. Examine how O’Brien shifts the blame for Winston’s condition onto Winston. How accurate is
O’Brien’s argument?
O’Brien tells Winston that the punishments were what Winston chose to endure. This is partly
because Winston understood the inevitable consequence of rebellion, but he still chose to rebel.
10. Explain why Winston feels he has not betrayed Julia.
He has kept his impregnable promise with Julia that he will never betray his love for Julia
emotionally.

Chapter 4

1. Generalize why Winston is given regular meals, clothes, and dental work.
To make him realize that he is nothing but a mortal being that can perish in any second without
the all powerful Party, which is immortal.
2. Judge why Winston dreams of O’Brien in the Golden Country.
O’Brien has been the torturer, the friend, and a sort of God to Winston for the past weeks, who
has been dictating Winston’s faith, in the Ministry of Love, so Winston’s mind is engrossed in
thoughts about O’Brien.

3. Tell how Winston works to regain his physical strength.


He exercises and eats well.
4. Decide which stage of reintegration Winston enters when he writes, “Freedom is Slavery,” and
“Two and Two Make Five.”
Acceptance: he did it out of his own volition.
5. Provide real-life examples of doublethink.
Cliché things told by society: follow your dreams but be realistic
The government is too invasive of people’s privacy, more surveillance cameras should be
installed to maximize security.
6. Evaluate how Winston is now conforming to O’Brien’s description of progressing through the
stages of reintegration.
He finally accepts and believes what the Party says, even if the statement seems to contradict
reality, the thought of which can be prevented with crimestop.
7. Show how Winston digresses from fully accepting the Party’s beliefs.
Winston realizes he still has emotional feelings towards Julia and cries her name out.
