Chapter 2

Chapter two was very descriptive of what happened to Winston. He was tortured in many ways. I believe they use different ways to torture because it will cause different pain and help make them sane. Winston is tortured by O'Brien, yet he still likes him. Winston still thinks of O'Brien as a friend, a person to talk to. I don't understand why O'Brien waited 7 years to turn Winston in. I believe that since O'Brien is sort of Winston's friend, he was waiting because he thought maybe Winston would get better. Maybe Winston would realize what he was doing was wrong and try to cure himself. After Winston went to O'Brien for the brotherhood, he realize Winston would not cure himself and he would have to cure Winston instead. O'Brien uses electric shock to make Winston realize that he can literally wipe out all of Winston's brains. He is going to make it so Winston will love Big Brother and follow the party. Winston will be cured and sane again. Winston asks O'Brien where Julia is and O'Brien says Julia betrayed Winston. I believe that Julia did betray him, but only because she was a spy for the party. I think they only took her in and hurt her in front of Winston to get a reaction out of Winston and to make him confess. I think she was let go right away and nothing actually happened to her.
