I'm sure I'm the only person using this quote.

"He loved Big Brother" (298). This ending really made me angry. I am so used to the happy ending where the hero wins and everything just turns out awesome. Well, that wasn't exactly the case here. The bad guys won. Winston gave in, and the Party claimed two more victims. I'm sure that most people were angry about this. I know that I wasn't pleased. Even though I didn't like it, that is such a great ending! This book would not have proven anything if Winston and Julia had won. This ending showed just how powerful an oppressive government can be. They are so powerful that they are making us angry. They can take over anyone they want. The author is showing us their true power through this ending.
