1984 the acceptance

The last few chapters of 1984 really bring out the personality in Winston. Being tortured shows his true colors and the power of the government. During his imprisonment and torture you move through the mind of a prisoner and his changing reflections on his society. You can also see the breakdown of the mind after weeks of torment. Then after the mind has been broken down into a fertile state, O'Brien starts rebuilding his sense of right. This is basically the acceptance of Big Brother and the actions of the government. After Winston has been taken care of you start to realize the power that a government force has towards its people. Winston was one of the few rebels and his life and past had been erased leaving no trace of his thoughts or rebel actions.
