Chapter 10 part 2



Winston wakes up and hears the red- armed women singing. Winston watches the women from the window and feels adulation towards her for expressing  freedom in her singing, and realizes that one day the proles will create a better society after they rebel against the party.. The singing of the women is a prevailing symbol in this novel because it shows us that there is nothing more preponderance than freedom.Winston and Julia both know that they will be caught in any time and lose their half freedom forever, so they feel jealous of the proles who are not as oppressed and deprived from freedom by the party.

Winston and Julia say, “We are the dead,” and a voice hidden announced “ You are the dead” . They later realize that there was a telescreen behind the picture of St. Clement’s Church. This tells us that Mr. Charrington was scrutinizing Winston since the beginning, hearing what Julia and Winston had said in that room. In earlier chapter we had seen that Mr. Charrington was not as concern about selling his antique merchandise which a normal salesman will be, and tacitly told Winston some hints about the telescreen, if we go back we see how Mr. Charrington does explain to Winston about the rhyme. The rhyme was the answer but Winston never thought of its insidious purpose of why Mr. Charrington had mentioned it. Winston and Julia are beaten and the paperweight is broken just as Winston life is; small and annihilated. Mr. Charrington enters the room and orders someone to pick up the shatters of the paperweight, later Winston realizes that the voice coming from the telescreen was Mr. Charrington, making him part of the thought police.

I hope in later chapter of part three we will be able to see how the proles rebel against the party, and weather they will be successful or not. I also believe like Winston that the proles are the happiest people  in their society, since they have freedom and are allow to demeanor like they want.  When Winston and Julia say we are the dead they know that the time has come, now they might never see each other again.  I found it surprising when the telescreen was behind the picture of St. Clement’s Church, this shows that Winston trusted on Mr. Charrington so much to had never  doubt about him at all. This also shows us that Julia and Winston were so desperate in finding a place without been watched that they had even forgotten to check for telescreens. From the beginning we found that Mr. Charrington was very friendly person but that  was only a stratagem he used to get Winston’s trust. I wonder what the thought police like Mr. Charrington get in return for giving Winston and Julia.
