Winston knows...

At the end of chapter 6, Winston seems to know that his last act of rebellion is coming. He thinks that it will all end for him at the Ministry of Love. This is foreshadowing his death because eventually, I'm sure, he will be caught and killed. This love affair cant go on forever, especially since they keep going to the same place. I think it's amazing that they haven't been caught already. It seems like in a society where they are constantly being watched, and the same two people keep going to the same place, it would be pretty obvious that something is going on. I can't figure out O'Brien at this point. Although Winston seems to really like him, and he seems to be an important person, I cant decide if he is trapping Winston or if he too wants to rebel against the party. He could just be trying to get Winston to his flat so he can talk to him kind of in the same way that Julia did. It will be interesting to see what happens when Winston finally goes to his flat. He seems to think like it's the end of him. I'm kind of intrigued at this point.

Yes I agree Kendal,
I don't know what is going to happen to Winston once he goes to O'Brien's house. He seems kind of creeper, he's a very mysterious man. But, We'll see if he is against the Party or a rebel like Julia and Winston.

I think it could go either way, but I definitely think that it is a little weird having O'Brien invite him to his flat, especially because Winston hardly even knows him. I think that's suspicious. But, then again Julia had to be sneaky with Winston to get his attention, so maybe that is what O'Brien is trying to do. I really wan to say that I don't think he is a good guy in this case, because he is just mysteriously creepy in my opinion.
