did George Orwell share the same ideas expressed in Goldstein's book?
Why did Winston wait longer in a cell than other prisoners?
what did you think about Winston being arrested? Did you expect this to happen?
Was Winston ever completely safe in the room he was renting? Did the bugged room tip off O'Brien to Winston's disloyalty?
I thought Winston would eventually be caught and arrested by the thought police because he was doing thought crimes and acts of rebellion throughout the story. But it surprised me how he was arrested because i didn't think it would of been because of Mr.Charrington. -Jack Carroll
ReplyDeleteMr. Charrington played a very small role throughout the story, but it is revealed that he is a part of the thought police, although since he was the one who sold Winston the notebook, I'm surprised Winston wasn't arrested sooner.
DeleteIt is hinted since the very start of the book that Winston would be arrested, so it wasn't too big of a shock. The shock came from who arrested him, though, since the start of the book always hinted at O'Brien being against the Party, but he was actually a part of the party.
ReplyDeleteAs for what I think about it, I just found that at this moment, the novel really started to take off and became incredibly interesting, since it's these "interrogations" that really show the difference in thinking between the Party, and a "normal" human, Winston.
I was honestly shocked it took so long for the thought police to catch Winston, as well I was shocked that Mr Charrington was the one to catch winston. -Ben Z
ReplyDeleteI knew that Winston would be caught because he was to disorganized. He didn't know what the right way to rebel against big brother was. Also he knew he would be caught when he bought the diary.
