I hadn't thought of that, but as we say to the young people on the spectrum I teach theater to, your right, your right, your absolutely right. Your right, oh thank you very much.
Agreed, but then again for all we know they may have been lying about the year as well and the fall of the regime could have happened right after the end of the novelI doubt either Winston or Julia would have lived longer than 1986. The Party seems to liquidate people fairly quickly after their release from MiniLuv.
Someone can be rebellious without being political, Julia may have not been looking to overthrow the Big Brother(which she realised was impossible anyway) but she was always shown to be very emotionalShe wasn't political, she just bent the rules
I disagree, he had plenty of reason to lie if their indoctrination wasnt as good as they hyped it up to be and in this timeline even more so since this version of O'Brien is full of shit("the world is divided in three super states I swear!")he had no reason to lie
Across her head? Sounds more like shrugging off the original text "oh she just got hit during the interrogation! Nothing to see here" rather than go with the more obvious and implied conclusion that she was indeed lobotomizedThe scar I'd always read as being the result of being knocked about by over enthusiastic interrogators.
Indeedthe retirement plan of the Party, is a stay in a labor camp, and a bullet in the head
The Proles are the most human of anyone in the narrative of 1984, with all that entails.The proles may serve as intermediaries between the outsiders and the outer party.
Hey, glad to see you're back!Will be updating this week re: Julia. Other projects and my new job have been taking a lot of my mental energy.
