Summarizer: Part 3 Chapter 2 & 3

CHAPTER 2
Pages 239-260

The Guards beat Winston with everything in hopes that he would confess. After hours of constant beating and pain, Winston was willing to confess anything and everything.
For some reason, O’Brien was watching Winston. O’Brian’s hand is a dial and when he turns it, Winston is affected with pain. O’Brien tells him about the conversation they are having and to regard his memory.

O’Brien holds up four fingers and ask Winston how many fingers is he holding up. Winston says four so O’Brien says, what if the Party says it’s five. Winston still believes he is holding up four.

O’Brien explains why the Party brings people to the Ministry of Love because they don’t care what you did; they want you to become sane and to cure them. They want them to eliminate all thoughts and just to be able to go with the flow.

Winston was allowed to ask a couple of questions. He asks if Big Brother exists, and he answered that he does and will never die and other questions.

CHAPTER 3
Pages 260-274

O’Brien says that power is the ability to make other humans suffer and by them suffering, you will know that they are obeying you.

Winston still doesn’t give up and believes that the Party must be defeated and talks about life and the human spirit.

O’Brien shows Winston how he looks like going against the Party in the mirror. Winston was all filthy and old. He says to O’Brien that he has never betrayed Julia and that was true.
