1984 Part III

Chapter 1
Whoa! This chapter was intense. And depressing. Also, SCREW O'BRIEN! I knew he was too good to be true for a book like this. Like wow. What scum. The scene with the man and the bread was brutal. I would much rather be dead then struggle in a place like this.
Chapter 2
I don't understand big brother. The effort put into "curing" Winston does not make any sense. This is part of the "why" Winston was wondering about earlier. But I still don't get it. Like I understood the explanations from "the book" but the explanations O'Brien gives are not satisfactory. This is far too much effort for one rebel. This is an unsustainable system, yet big brother will "live forever".
Chapter 3
Poor Winston. They broke him. Not spiritually yet, but his body is broken. Like that imagery was Holocaust like. Him holding onto Julia is sweet but also creepy. They didn't date for very long yet she is his light. IDK man, their whole relationship was weird to me. Also knowing you're a dead man walking would be horrible. Just end it so you have some control over something.
Chapter 4
I guess this is an improvement? It's still horrible and confusing and depressing but go Winston! As I see the book coming to an end I rethink the plot and realize there wasn't much. He almost joins a rebellion and then gets captured and destroyed. I guess that's Orwell's point. Big Brother is in fact always watching.
Chapter 5
OMG HE BROKE! I never liked his relationship with Julia but he finally threw her under the bus! What a disgusting chapter but also wow! Fear of pain from something scary broke Winston, when truly unbearable pain didn't. What a crazy concept but also probably very real. This makes me wonder how real this book is? How much research into psychology Orwell did? Even if Big Brother is unlikely, how likely is the interactions between the people in this book?
Chapter 6 
What a depressing ending. He reunites with Julia to find out she broke too. He has no relations and then his final victory is LOVING big brother?? This is just sad. He is broken. This isn't a book about rebelling against an oppressive government this a book about breaking people. This is about the government not the people.

Final Remarks
What a strange book. There is no protagonist. You want to like Winston but he sucks. He was a horrible child and he loses in the end. Julia turns everyone off instantly and other that everyone is clearly a bad guy. There is no plot either. Like what happened in this book? NOTHING! One unlikeable man was broken by his horrible government. The end.
Despite these strange aspects, this book is still manages to be powerful. It is essentially a psychology book. It deals with how a person works and less with why a person works. It shows you the breaking point of humanity, which surprisingly isn't death. I'm not sure what I got out of this book, but it's there. There's a mark. I just don't know what it it yet.
