Chapter One: The novel's first chapter introduces people to the novel's protagonist, Winston Smith of Airstrip One, Oceania. Winston is surely an unimportant part of Ingsoc, the controlling party of Oceania. As he labors up the stairs to his apartment, he passes several posters of Big Brother, the embodiment of party leadership, who in fact represents oppression, but to citizens represents all that is good. Winston commits

thoughtcrime by writing DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER in their diary, the possessing which constitutes thoughtcrime.
Chapter Two: Winston hears a knock in the door and fears it's the thought police. It's actually his neighbor whose sink he unplugs and whose kids are junior spies for your party.

Chapter Three: Winston desires his mother, of a naked girl running toward him, and also Shakespeare, seventy one of which represent thoughtcrime. He awakens towards the telescreen's shrill cry of exercise time.
Chapter Four: Winston visits work at The Ministry of Truth. His job is always to falsify past records to make them conform to current reality.
Chapter Five: Winston eats lunch with Syme, a specialist on Newspeak, the state language from the party, whose purpose would be to reduce the amount of words and render thoughtcrime impossible.
Chapter Six: Winston records his most current sex act in the diary, a disgusting affair which has a Prole prostitute without teeth. He longs to get a meaningful romance, what he considers the best rebellion against the party.

Chapter Seven: Winston writes as part of his diary that this only hope is within the Proles, the running class. He longs for the sense from the past, picks up a children's history book, and realizes any record with the past is controlled by the party and has been falsified.
Chapter Eight: Winston wanders in the Prole district and buys a paperweight in the same store he bought the diary. He notices a lady from the Ministry of Truth and fears he or she is being followed. He contemplates smashing her face in with a cobblestone.
Analysis: The party controls its citizens through media manipulation, language manipulation, psychological trickery, the dissolving of family ties, and torture. The party makes illegal all things that make life enjoyable: family ties, sex, romantic love, the freedom to consider, great literature, and anything , involving introspection. Although Oceania does not have any specific laws prohibiting any one of Winston's actions, his actions are outward signs which he has committed the supreme crime, thoughtcrime.
Book One introduces the reader to the novel's other two significant characters, Julia, your ex in the blue overalls, and O'Brien, the inner party member who Winston believes might be a fellow conspirator.
Chapter One: The girl who earlier Winston wanted to strike inside face using a cobblestone passes him an email that says "I love you." It takes several attempts, though the two are able to converse and schedule a meeting at Victory Square. Winston feels he has a reason to reside.
Chapter Two: The two meet in the country and embark on romantic love acts.
Chapter Three: The two return to normal party lives and have the ability to meet simply for short durations. They rendezvous at an abandoned church. Winston realizes that Julia just isn't interested in an extensive rebellion. She is only considering outsmarting the party and having intercourse.
Chapter Four: Winston rents a place above Mr Charrington's shop, where he purchased the diary as well as the paper weight. He realizes it's really a huge risk but he feels it's worth it.
Chapter Five: Syme disappears (as WInston predicted earlier). Winston constantly thinks about the room above Charrington's shop, considering what continues there, I think we understand.
Chapter Six: O'Brien stops Winston in the hall and provides him his address. Winston just isn't sure if this is a sign through the underground or if he's a pace closer to his doom.
Chapter Seven: Winston and Julia visit their rented room frequently. They know they are going to eventually be captured and tortured understanding that renting the area is stupid. They still rent it anyhow and promise each other they will remain loyal.
Chapter Eight: Winston and Julia visit O'Brien and discuss the underground with him. He promises Winston he will deliver a book containing the secrets from the underground.
Chapter Nine: Oceania is no longer at war with East Asia. It's at war with Eurasia. This forces Winston with his fantastic Ministry of Truth coworkers to log 96 hours in the next few weeks. Finally, Winston has the capacity to escape to his rented room where he reads the ebook given him by O'Brien. The book explains the importance and concept of War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, and Freedom is Slavery.
Chapter 10: As it turns out, Mr. Charrington is a member of the Thought Police and there's a telescreen behind the picture inside the room above his shop. Winston and Julia are arrested.
Analysis: The moment WInston, Julia, and the various readers have all been expecting finally occurs Whatsapp Friendship on the end of chapter 10. The only question remaining is whether or not Winston and Julia betray the other person. Don't you hate it once you buy illegal items from an undercover thought policeman? I imagine Winston feels pretty stupid. That whole "Here comes a chopper to chop off your mind poem" has haunted me since part one and should have been a clue to Winston that both Charrington and O'Brien just weren't to be trusted.
Chapter One: Winston awaits his punishment in the cell to prisoners, victims of starvation and beatings. His coworker Ampleforth continues to be arrested, as has his neighbor Parsons. O'Brien enters and reveals himself just as one agent of the Ministry of Truth. A security guard smashes Winston's elbow using a club. It hurts. Bad.
Chapter Two: O'Brien efforts to "cure" Winston's "insanity" with torture. Winston agrees to anything O'Brien tells him and begins to love O'Brien because he can stop the anguish. O'Brien explains how the party has perfected a system that will keep these things in power forever. They do not kill any prisoners until they are "cured."
Chapter Three: O'Brien tortures Winston more. He tells Winston that the party's true aim is to remain in power forever by controlling everything. Winston argues that the party cannot control external events. O'Brien thinks otherwise, explaining that provided that the party controls your brain, anything can be done. O'Brien admits that Winston has yet to betray Julia, but doesn't come off as too upset by it, if you know eventually many people are cured.
Chapter Four: Winston is taken to a more comfortable room, is fed regularly, and is no longer tortured. He still hates Big Brother and wants to die hating Big Brother being a last act of rebellion. He wakes up from a dream and shouts Julia's name many times. O'Brien arrives and orders Winston to room 101.
Chapter Five: Winston's face is strapped to a cage which has starving rats. Just before O'Brien pulls the lever release a them, Winston asks that Julia take his place. With the final betrayal complete, the torture stops.
Chapter Six: Winston sits with the Chestnut Tree Cafe drinking Victory Gin and accepting everything Big Brother says. He has met with Julia once since being released but neither had any interest in continuing their relationship. After news of the great war victory, Winston acknowledges he loves Big Brother.
Analysis: Evil wins. All it took was weeks of torture, a cage packed with rats, and enough gin to paralyze a rhinoceros. I love Big Brother.
