A ŷ user asked this question about 1984:
Alert- Stupid Question. Actually a lot of questions So was O'Brien ever apart of The Brotherhood or against the Party. Because I remember him mentioning to Winston the dream where they would meet in a place with no darkness. 2.) Do we ever find out what happened to Winston's wife Katherine? 3.) Does Julia experience the torture with the rats or just told about it?
Margarita Bastar No questions are stupid Natia and this book is a tough one :P
1. O´Brien was never against the party, but his role is to act like it to catch the rebe…mǰ

1. O´Brien was never against the party, but his role is to act like it to catch the rebels. The dream Winston had was exactly that, a dream Winston imagined after seeing the look in O´Brien´s eye. O´Brien also gives them the book, but it´s just a trap so that the police can catch them with the evidence later... 2. We don´t, and it doesn´t matter. The point is, they didn´t work out cuz they never loved each other and Winston didn´t want to pretend anymore... 3. Julia also gets tortured, didn´t you see her face at the end? She´s also a zombie because when they did the torture to her, she shouted ¨DO IT TO WINSTON INSTEAD!¨ That made her realize she doesn´t love him, she loves Big Brother, and now she won´t fight for love. The book infers that the torture serves the purpose of killing all the love in the people thereby destroying their urge to rebel or fight back.

Hope that helps! Sometimes the answers are between the lines :) (less)
