1984, THE ENDING

During the majority of Book three, Winston was tortured for roughly half of the time, the rest was silent whimpering/crying and plot development. Discussing the forms of torture, there was the place where Winston was strapped to the table and stretched to the point of ripping when asked questions. Then there was room 101 where he was strapped down to a chair, and then they put a cage like thing on his head that has a separator with a cage of vicious and hungry giant rats ready to eat his freaking face off, which I still say was one of the freakiest things in the book. I am going off context here, I may like rats, but if there were hungry rats about to eat my face off, yeah I would get a phobia of rats as well. Then there is the end of the book, where everything is reversed. Winston now has left his whole ‘rebellion’ thing in the dust, and now starts to believe in Big Brother and the Party. Now I may personally love the ending, but WTF! Sorry for my harsh lettering but Winston did a complete 360 as a character, I know he was tortured but I have read this book twice and I still don’t get how Winston reaches his final conclusion.
