The first method of torture that happens is the shock treatment. O’Brien questions Winston and tells him why he is in this predicament. He tells him that he is here because of his questions and non-beliefs of the society. This process is made for Winston to be a good Party member, learn what he thought was wrong, and to understand and accept the Party’s view of things. O’Brien tells Winston about how the society functions and how it will never be brought down. O’Brien has many conversations with Winston but the one that struck me the most was how the society is going to be in the future. O’Brien explains how harsh the future will be because their will be no relationship needed between friends, wives, and kids. He says that things will be much harsher and that the enemy or heretic of the society will always be there and is defeated. The results that Winston had thought this test were ok. He believes in O’Brien and but just repeats what he says so he won’t feel anymore pain. He keeps on asking why about everything O’Brien says. This shows that Winston questioned O’Brien because he didn’t understand at first. He realizes now about the society that it can never be fixed and will stay like that forever. He finally loves Big Brother at the end because he realized he is just limiting his self from freedom if he doesn’t like it. With him loving Big Brother he has won the victory over himself. I think the broader messaged is that things in our society can make up history or anything so that the society can believe it. Also, I think he could be saying that people that go against their government will always be ridiculed and looked down at and the only way for citizens to be free is follow the rules of the society and accept it.
