part two chapter five.

In chapter 5. Syme disappears, which was something Winston foreshadowed in the beginning of the book. So I'm not surprised. The two minutes hate is here, and parsons kids wrote a new hate song. Relating it to real life, parents even though they hate something or someone never encourage their children to hate or spread hatred. But this is what happens in the book, in a way. I don't think Parsons or his wife, encourage this type of hate, in the children, because they have so little control over them, like most parents. Which goes to show, how much control the party has over every person prole or not. They have more control over the children then the parents do, so all children being wild and out of control works well to the party's control. Parsons kids are just an example of many other kids in Oceania.
I'm not sure, but i think I can picture why Winston hated his ex wife so much. Because before I didn't really understand. Winston, imagines being able to kill Katherine, so he could be with Julia. Which sounded really cold to me at first, because I can't imagine someone wishing another persons death, just so he could be with someone else. I think, that Winston hates Katherine for not being able to be completely intimate with him. He hates that she couldn't or wasn't able to set the party aside for just one minute. He hates her ignorance and that she was such a loyal follower. Which she showed him, after splitting up with him, when they couldn't have children. Julia on the other hand is a fighter, but for the wrong reasons. It's like a person who helps police find a thief but only because they want the reward money. That's the best way I can describe Julia. Winston finally yells at her because she is a rebel for all the wrong reasons. SHE DOES NOT value her life and instead puts having a good time in front. I think this is a bit frustrating for Winston, since he sees how shes putting her life in danger but at the end most of what she did wouldn't have mad a difference. Katerine and Julia are completely opposite. But at the end, it doesn't matter, because Winston doesn't love either one. Like Juila rebells for the wrong reasons, Winston also "loves" Julia for the wrong reasons.
