For anyone who's read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four:

 

 

Do you think Winston was executed? I mean, at the end of the novel we are told that his spirit is now completely broken, he now loves Big Brother. Now, if we take into account what O'Brien says during Winston's torture sessions, the Party always converts thought criminals, so that their rebellion and individuality are eliminated (that way they won't turn into martyrs), and then they are physically executed. Anyway, there is also information to suggest Winston's life was spared... What do you think happened to him?

 

 

That's a possibility I had not thought of myself. It has a bit of an ambiguous ending to keep us guessing. When you say it, it does make sense that

he was killed shortly after. And like said on the page before, he was already "dead".

I can see it happening both ways, since

 

at the end he was just a shell of his former self. Great move on Orwells part to keep us guessing

 

 

@Finn, enjoy the book, man, it is brilliant :)

In my opinion,

 

Winston, at the end of the book, was alive. His spirit, on the other hand, had been killed while he watched the stuff on TV. He got converted. And as he "died", the conversion was finished. And he probably was killed after that for realsies.

 

I might misremember some details, but I've given my book to a friend, so I can't quickly re-read the end. Love the book, though.

So we can all agree then,

Winston was dead regardless; both figuratively and possibly literally.

Nothing against the guy, it just bothered me how he took my attempt at help as an insult. Never had any issues with him, but I'm sure what he does is what is best for him.

Personally I think

 

Winston doesn't get killed. I think it's more disturbing to think he lives on, being completely broken and brainwashed. I think it's a more powerful dystopian thought, that Winston would end up like that, than for them to just kill him.

Why is it that in the middle of the day if I am tired I can fall asleep in my recliner no problem, but if I try to go to sleep for the night in my recliner I just can't fall asleep???

Perhaps your body is trying to tell you to sleep during the day instead of night? That happens a lot to me too.

Been wondering about it for years. In my case, I can fall asleep on the couch, car, bus or anywhere, really, in the middle of the day, but once I get to bed, I struggle with it, unless I'm really tired.

UT, I can go to sleep in my bed for the night 99% of the time no problem. But if I lounge in my recliner to sleep, it's just not happening.

^Exactly,

if you remember, they did kill those three alleged traitors (even though their confessions were false)

Yeah,

 

Winston is NOT an exception. The same way most people who read 1984 probably thought that Winston and the girl (can't remember the name) won't get caught in their room, they'll end up doing something and so on, but then the book punches you in the face and captures, and tortures them. Why would Winston stay alive at the end then? (or shortly after the end)

Hi, guys.

 

Can anyone find me a video or explain to me how to tie a basic knot in the middle of a rope, about 10 cm wide?
