○ Chapter 8: Be Careful Who you Trust
■ This chapter is called "Be Careful who you Trust" because as Winston and Julia secretly
meet O'Brien in his house so that the government doesn't discover, they are asked how
much are they willing to sacrifice their lives in the name of the rebellious organization
"The Brotherhood". As they state the things that they would do, such as drop acid in a
child's face as well as murder someone or commit suicide, they also state the one thing
which they won't ever do in the name of "The Brotherhood", which is, that they won't
ever be prepared to separate from each other, they won't give up on their love. They told
the one thing they will never give up on to a stranger, to a person that exchanged glances
once with them. By saying the one thing they wouldn't do, their weakness, they are
trusting someone they don't even know, perhaps they shouldn't.
○ Chapter 9: The Power of Knowing
■ This chapter is called "The Power of knowing" because as Winston reads the supposed
"Brotherhood" book, he comes to realized that he knows everything that is being said in
that book, all the slogans, as well as the social classes and the wars. He knows
everything, he just doesn't understand the why. By having the power of knowledge,
Winston can decipher the Party and their ideologies, rebelling his own ways. To be aware
of the government's manipulations and interests id key, and Winston has that power,
unlike others such as Mr. Parsons.
○ Chapter 10: The Road to Nowhere
■ This chapter is called "The Road to Nowhere" because of how Winston in the previous
chapter thought that he was finally joining an organization and was actually reading "The
Brotherhood's" book. Winston thought that he was embarking on a road leading to
freedom, but really that road let to nowhere because both Winston and Julia were caught
by the telescreen and Mr. Charrington. It turns out that they actually were "the dead" as
said by Winston in chapter three.
● Part 3: Leaves do Fall
■ This chapter is called "Leaves do Fall" because as said, Oceania citizens are like flowers
in a Garden, and the "rotten flowers" are the ones that rebell Big Brother's power.
Winston and Julia are a "couple of roses" because they are rebelling Big Brother without
them knowing, so they haven't rotten yet. However, now that they have been caught it
turns out that they might just rot and their leaves might just fall apart, or actually, be
ripped into two.
○ Chapter 1: Cruel Betrayal...
■ This chapter is called "Cruel Betrayal..." because as Winston is held hostage by the
government in the Ministry of Love he sees "prisoners" come and go and he wonders
what happens in the so called "Room 101" that all of them are so afraid of going. His
name is never called, and all the people that enter Winston's cell come as a surprise to
him, even the person that Winston never imagined that would be imprisoned, happened to
be: Mr. Parsons, he had the saving stupidity. However, nothing surprises him more than
O'Brien's appearance. Winston certainly didn't expect O'Brien's betrayal, his cruel
betrayal.
