Final Orwell

In this passage the doctrine is definitely evident. O'Brien is basically restating once again the basis of "life" at the time. No one was to have a different point point of view from anyone else otherwise you were not considered alive in government eyes. The reality that is spoken of consists of only what Big Brother states and nothing more. In the end this leads to his fate because he is at a loss of an actually reality that he neither knows is true reality or the reality created by Ingsoc. O'Brien, in this passage, is speaking directly to Winston and tellling him that he has failed as a person because he is going against that party. But in his own right (an actual right that is not established) he goes by what he believes rather than others' perspectives. Winston gave himself away by leaving evidence of his deceitfulness. But he has the right as a person to be himself, he has the right to be a leader instead of a follower. He has the right to use his brain, and not just follow the trend because someone else thinks that their way is better and that everyone has to follow them. Winston was told that reality is what is in the human mind, not in an individuals mind. Winston knew that the things that the Party was feeding to everyone was a fraud so he didn't follow. But on the on the other hand he also knew that going against the party was not an option. He repeatedly kept telling Winston that what the government was saying was the actually truth and he would be crazy to go against it. Winston's fate was determined by his won mind. he was going back and forth with himself questioning everything in life like many people do in life everyday. His conscience was the deciding factor against Big Brother, showing that he had found his memory of life before Big Brother and the doublethink concept.
