no, i mean the part just before he gets shot in the back of the head! lol that is the end of the story. the rest is appendix.

"and he realised, that he loved big brother" that part.

you would not go back. he already went out to the proles, he would have gone to the wilderness after that. i seem to recall there was a great deal of hints at the idea that the society was entirely contained and controlled to the point where nobody scarcely saw any more than their own neighbourhood.

i probably should read it again tho. i think the last and first time i read it i was 18 years old, in 1994.

my english teacher gave our class the option on a book report assignment. nobody cared. i said 1984. teacher said "no, not that book, specifically because you asked". this was what radicalised me. couldn't get more blatant that i had just read a book about the world this prick came from.

lol not from you

Did I completely forget he gets shot? I thought he was just weeping sadly as a defeated man in the corner. Maybe I need to revisit. But yeah, the author points out how excessive in detail the style shifts right there
