The party has produced illegal as much as possible that make life enjoyable: family ties, sex, romantic love, the freedom to consider, great literature, and anything which involves introspection.

Analysis: The moment WInston, Julia, and your reader have all been expecting finally occurs on the end of chapter 10. The only question remaining is whether or not Winston and Julia betray one another. Don't you hate it when you buy illegal items from an undercover thought policeman? I imagine Winston feels pretty stupid. That whole "Here comes a chopper to cut off your brain poem" has haunted me since part one and should have been a hint to Winston that both Charrington and O'Brien are not to be trusted.

Winston argues that the party cannot control external events. O'Brien thinks otherwise, explaining that as long as the party controls your head, anything may be possible. O'Brien admits that Winston has yet to betray Julia, but doesn't come off as too upset by it, knowing that eventually everyone is cured.
Chapter Four: Winston is taken to a more comfortable room, is fed regularly, and has stopped being tortured. He still hates Big Brother and wants to die hating Big Brother like a last act of rebellion. He wakes up from the dream and shouts Julia's name several times. O'Brien arrives and orders Winston to room 101.
Chapter Five: Winston's face is strapped to a cage which contains starving rats. Just before O'Brien pulls the lever to produce them, Winston asks that Julia take his place. With the final betrayal complete, the torture stops.
Chapter Six: Winston sits on the Chestnut Tree Cafe drinking Victory Gin and accepting everything Big Brother says. He has met with Julia once since developing but neither had any desire for continuing their relationship. After news of an great war victory, Winston acknowledges he loves Big Brother.
