Chapter VII

1. Winston's dream and the realization it brought him about the Party.
2. Winston and Julia again talk about how their capture is inevitable. They also talk about what the Party will do to them when they confess. What hope does Winston hold to? What does he say will exist no matter what the Party does to him?

Winston has a dream about his mother. He says he murdered his mother. However not physically but mentally. He describes how, they constantly lived in hunger, and underground. He feels guilty because he was very hungry and stole a chocolate bar, and ran away. Never to see his mother again. Winston hates the party for, eliminating human feelings. He feels that proles in a way can still feel emotion, making them more human than a party member, who in turn follows strict rules and isn't allowed to feel emotion. Winston is haunted by the memory of his mother, mostly because of all the guilt he feels. He blames the party for everything that happened and how he feels. HE HATES THE PARTY, FOR IN A WAY, messing up something which was important to him, which was his mother. The party's cold cruel ways, make him and other party members almost inhuman, unable to feel pain.

Winston and Julia talk about them getting caught, and how the room they rented, will increase their chances of getting caught. Winston and Julia know that once they get caught, they will end up confessing. The torture will be too much. Winston says to Julia that he hopes she won't betray him and he wasn't referring to her confessing. Winston hopes that overall Julia will still love him. The party can torture all the people if they wanted. But one thing they can't remove is their inner feelings and emotions. They can't take away someones love or hate toward another person. This is why the Party wants to eliminate emotion, it's the only thing that they cannot control. By eliminating emotion, people can't feel, reassuring the party that they still have total control. If people were able to feel emotion, the Party probably wouldn't even be in control. Emotions allow people to help others, such as a child for their parent. But with no emotions children turn in their parents. Winston and Julia are committing a crime by feeling emotion. Nothing the Party can ever do, will make them feel differently about each other or take that love away. Overall Winston holds on to the hope that no matter what happens he will always have the love of Julia.
