Winston: In this chapter Winston is doubtful, yet intrigued to go to O'Brien's house, but once he is there he settles him self down and is relieved once he hears O’Brien tell him he is part of the Brotherhood. Winston is only at O’Brien’s out of sheer intuition because of a dream, and when he and O’Brien made eye contact. Also Winston expresses his full hatred for the party while O’Brien is questioning Julia and himself.

Julia: In this chapter Julia is nervous as well as Winston, but is only their for the support of Winston. Although Winston is more afraid than Julia is to be going to O’Brien’s he has more of a purpose to go to rather than Julia who does not believe in the Brotherhood. She also agrees to every question that O’Brien asks her except when asked to split from Winston.

Martin: Martin is a servant of O’Brien who is claimed to also be a member of the Brotherhood. He is quiet and stealthy with his movements, he doesn’t talk and lays a bland look on Winston and Julia when told to take another look at them before he leaves. If Winston was to be relayed any information it would be through him. O’Brien: In this chapter O’Brien is Winston's lead who is in Winston's mind a member of the Brotherhood. He is found completing work for the ministries when Winston and Julia first arrive showing us that he is a busy man even when he is home. He is an Inner Party member who lives in a luxurious neighborhood. Also he is seen as a stout man with strong features, and a heavy face.

simile

, Orwell is describing the wine the O'Brien's servant has brought to them. It signifies the privileges that the Inner Party members have that is difficult to access for someone like Winston and Julia. It also shows how classy the lifestyle is of the Inner Party, and that they can obtain much more than that of the Outer Party or Proles.

•

Tone

- The tone of this chapter is a nervous, suspenseful tone because of Winston going to O’Brien’s home on a simple dream that he had, also once he is inside he blurts out why he and Julia are there and O’Brien does not answer immediately which causes Winston to grow more paranoid. Once O’Brien tells Winston that he and Martin are part of the Brotherhood the tone changes to a calmer state.

“ The whole atmosphere of the huge block of flats, the richness and spaciousness of everything, the unfamiliar smells of good food and good tobacco, the silent and incredibly rapid flats lifts sliding up and down, the white-jacketed servants hurrying to and fro everything was intimidating.”

- Orwell uses

imagery

to give us a closer inside look at what the life of an Inner party member Is like compared to the run down Victory Mansions and other inadequate living styles that Winston and Julia have to deal with. It also shows us the fancy décor and other things t he Inner party can obtain like velvet carpeting, good cigarettes and wine and even servants.

Symbolism

- Before Winston and Julia realize the Brotherhood was a setup, Martin the quiet servant of O’Brien symbolizes and makes Winston and Julia believe that the Brotherhood is everywhere even places that people wouldn’t normally think, and that there are people all over just like them, which leads Winston and especially Julia to believe the Brotherhood is real and there decision to join it was right.

1.

What is Winston's only evidence that O’Brien is a Brotherhood member and why is it to late for him to go back once they are inside?

- The only evidence that Winston posses is a small timeframe in which Winston and O’Brien have made eye contact, and the remark that O’Brien makes in Winston's dream. After Winston's desire to receive an answer from O’Brien calmed he realizes he made a grave mistake and if O’Brien isn't a member then he will be taken by the thought police. This occurs after he has walked in with Julia which would make it to noticeable for him to ask for the dictionary and leave.

2.

Knowing that Winston and Julia will be later captured, why does O’Brien ask them so many impelling questions?

O’Brien asks them if they are ready to kill, commit suicide, and even throw sulphuric acid into a child's face because he wants to make sure that they are completely against the government. Also it is a cover-up to make it seem like a standard procedure that members must go through to join the so called “Brotherhood”.

3.

What does O’Brien tell Winston is the only thing he’ll ever know about the government, why?

4.

- Winston will only ever know that the Brotherhood as an idea exists. The Brotherhood itself is not actually an organization with a buildings and meetings and such. It is just a thought built around a numerous amount of people. This is because O’Brien tells them that even Brotherhood members themselves do not know who other members are, they just know their assignment and a group of three or four contacts. This helps in case of an arrest, the member doesn’t really know anybody else and cannot give any information about any other members because they are isolated. Even Emmanuel Goldstein himself is said to not keep a list of who his members are for a pre-caution.

Also knowing that they are to be later captured, why does O’Brien not immediately give Winston Emmanuel Goldstein's book?

O’Brien does this because he wants Winston to think that the Brotherhood is bigger than he thinks. O’Brien says that it may take awhile for him to get the book because the thought police are finding and destroying them faster than they can write them. This makes Winston believe that there really are other members who have the same driven desire to go against the government.

5.

What does O’Brien completing the old nursery rhyme say about his nature as a person, and how does it affect Winston?

Finishing the rhyme signifies that even though O’Brien is an Inner Party member, part of those who everyday corrupt the mind of society and those who are closest to the government, he still retains some piece of pre revolutionary thought that hasn’t been taken away from him. This will also be part of Winston ultimate demise because after hearing O’Brien complete the line he believes that O’Brien is a person that can be trusted as a leader and he is satisfied that he made his decision to join the Brotherhood.

• Winston and Julia make a daring move to go to see O'Brien together at his house in an Inner party neighborhood. They are amazed by the sheer luxury that the Inner party members live in. Once they are inside O'Brien turns off his telescreen claiming that Outer Party members have that right as long as it doesn’t last more than a half an hour or the party would become suspicious. Winston is asked to state his purpose and lets go everything about how he thinks O’Brien is a member of the Brotherhood and that Julia and himself are completely against the party and they want O’Brien to help them gain access to the brotherhood. One of O'Brien's servants Martin was in the room listening to the whole thing, but O’Brien tells them that he is indeed part of the Brotherhood and so is Martin. O’Brien then proceeds to got through and ask what Winston and Julia are willing to do for the brotherhood. Winston and Julia both agree to all of the circumstances that O’Brien proposes as long as they are not split up. O’Brien toasts to his newly recruited members of the Brotherhood and then proclaims everything about it. He tells of how Emmanuel Goldstein, the leader of the Brotherhood does not know who his members even are, even members themselves do not know who other members are. He also states that under any circumstances one member of the Brotherhood will never help out another in danger as a precaution.

• Lastly O’Brien tells them that the Brotherhood has a book that each member must read to be officially part of the brotherhood. Winston is told that he will be given a secret coded message as to where to go an receive the book which will be enclosed in a briefcase. Winston has two weeks to read the book before he had to return it. Finally as a last note before they leave Winston states the quote “we shall meet in a place where there is no darkness” that he remembered from the dream he had had with O'Brien and O’Brien surprisingly understands this quote, along with the nursery rhyme that Mr. Charrington is always singing.

• In this chapter we see more of Winston's daring and foolish side because he is going to O'Brien's home to see if he can gain him access to the Brotherhood only on a simple dream that they had. If O’Brien turns out to be just another member he could turn him in because Winston and Julia came together, also if they are caught in the neighbor hood by the thought police they could be thrown out. Once they settle in with O’Brien he tells them he is part of the Brotherhood and gives them in-depth questioning which he does to make sure that Winston and Julia are completely ready to give up who they are to become new people. Finally Winston tells O’Brien the quote from his dream which O’Brien nodes in compliance foreshadowing Winston's capture in the future.
