Chapter 10

Mind=Blown. Chapter ten is way interesting. As Winston and Julia wake up, they realize how the room is cold and the oven has no oil in it. Julia says that she had made sure it was full however. As they began to stand over the window and watch the lady, they say how they are the dead. All of a sudden, a voice says "you are the dead". At first I thought it was Mr. Charrington speaking to them from the door. I thought he was just going to tell them they should go, but it was a voice from not in the room. It was a voice from a telescreen that was behind the picture. Winston explains how Mr. Charrington was a member of the thought police, but I disagree. I believe that it was O'Brien. I think that because Winston had told O'Brien where they had been hiding out, that O'Brien had turned them in. He did say that switching hiding spots often is the safest, yet they kept using the same place. O'Brien also said how they can change people drastically. Winston also talked to him about the little chant about the churches, which is why the telescreen referenced part of it. I think that Mr. Charrington did not change, but instead O'Brien changed himself to look like Mr. Charrington. The whole time I thought O'Brien was a spy, not an actual member of the Brotherhood. He is a member of the inner party, so I think he told the others about Winston and Julia and about their hide-out. He then went to them disguised as a different version of Mr. Charrington. Thinking ahead, I want to say that Winston and Julia will meet O'Brien at the Ministry of Love and find out who he really is.
