1984 Post 2

Answer the following in at least 2 well developed paragraphs. Be sure to use evidence from the novel and support your analysis. (20 points)

• What role does Big Brother or Emmanuel Goldstein have in the book? Do they exist? Must they exist? How do they affect Winston? Is Winston’s obsession with Big Brother really the same as his obsession with Goldstein? 
• Take a look at the ending of the book.  Now reflect upon statements that Winston has made about accepting Big Brother, torture,  and other foreshadowing elements.  What has happened to Winston?  Has he truly accepted and love Big Brother?  What may be implied at the end of the novel?

 After making your original post, reply to two other posts with a 5 sentence paragraph. (5 points for each). Due on Monday 10/20 at midnight
