Winston awakes from a dream crying. When Julia asks what the matter is he talks about his blame for his mother’s death. What is most important, though, is how soon after he blames the party for loosing feelings, as feelings are what makes people human.
O’Brian’s meeting with Winston finally happens, where he is able to shut of the telescreen and tells Winston that the brotherhood is real, and even gives him a copy of the manifesto of the brotherhood. This is after Winston confesses to his crimes with Julia to O’Brian, thinking he is an ally.
After a switch of enemies for Oceana, Winston has to perform a 90 hour workweek to alter all the documents so that Oceana was never at war with Eurasia, but always with Eastasia. Winston reads the manifesto and finds out that the war is perpetual, and nothing more than a trick played by the governments to keep the people suppressed and ignorant.
Winston awakes the next morning and talks with Julia for a bit about their futility and their admiration for the Proles. A voice then comes from the room they are in, to which they notice a telescreen is hidden behind a painting of St. Clemens’ church. They are arrested by the same man they have been renting the room from, and acknowledge that their lives are forfeit.
