Chapter Four
I was slightly confused at the beginning of the chapter because it completed switch plots. All of a sudden Winston is not being tortured anymore. Instead he is actually getting healthy, being fed three times a day, trying to get in shape, and not complaining about being in the Ministry of Love. I think Winston tries to get fit is because he realized how much power the Party had over him while he was weak. He knows that he needs to be strong in order to have any amount of power over himself. I think it is strange that he all of a sudden seems to believe the Party. He believes the party, but deep down he knows what is really the truth. He learned how to control himself though. If he believes what the Party says, why have they not let him go? I believe Winston will have to stay for a while longer because of how strong his hate was in the beginning. O'Brien knows that it will take a long time for Winston to fully be cured. Especially because he wakes up from a dream screaming about Julia. O'Brien comes in and tells him its time to go into Room 101. I think Room 101 will have something significant inside of it. Maybe Julia will be waiting in there, or maybe even his Mom. The reason for this is because they want Winston to betray Julia in front of her to make her hurt. It could be his mom also because he thinks she is no longer alive and if he sees her believing and loving the Party, it will help him believe. It is probably something much worse though, because no one wants to enter Room 101.

No...his health is improving because O'Brien has convinced him that he has something to live for: Big Brother.
