Book 3 Chapter 2: The Torture

       In the second chapter of book three, Winston begins to "love" O' Brien and says everything that O' Brien tells him to say, as well as agreeing to believe anything that O' Brien desires hime to believe. Winston a sort of puppet that O' Brien controls to do as he pleases. Winston begins to like O' Brien because he is ceasing the pain to the point where Winston believes that O' Brien is not the reason why he is going through all the pain. O' Brien begins to tell Winston of the party and allows Winston to ask any questions that he desires. Winston asks about Julia, whom O' Brien says betrayed him from the start. He asks about Big Brother and is told that Big Brother does not exist, as he does not exist. The last question Winston asked has to do with room 101 which O' Brien claimed that everyone know what happens in room 101.
       Winston is beginning to feel to confident and is trusting to much in O' Brien. Winston is weak and O' Brien is using that to his advantage to assure to push Winston to his weakest point. Winston is tortured in many way which makes his confess to a long list of crimes. Winston is told by O' Brien that the reason why he is being held and tortures id none other than refusing to accept the party's control. The party want full control of the people and Winston did many crimes which were against those of the party's desire. Winston is being tortured by a back-bone stretching machine that tends to break back bones as well as erase memories and brainwash people. Therefore Winston is being brainwashed to the point where he is becoming a mere puppet to the party and changing his ideas.
       I find this chapter pretty interesting due to the torture. The chapter keeps a good balance of information as well as the details and suspense that is created by the torture. Winston's torture hasn't come to an end, it is just beginning, there is much more left up O' Brien's sleeve.
