Now broken, and even more of a shell than a man he was at the beginning, Winston sits at a bar praising at the thought of Big Brother in his head. He had lost, and to him now, it was called winning. We can now say that Winston has lost and essential part of his humanity, his soul. After a life-time of secret rebellion with Julia (Bonnie & Clyde duo) he says that his fight is over and he had won the battle over himself, he now loved big brother.

Over the course of meeting Julia, Winston has changed rapidly as he now has someone to talk to about the same beliefs he has about being against the party. He also knows that escaping the Party is inevitable, but somehow in his case having Julia there makes him want to pursue it even further. Meeting up, having an illegal sex life (based on the Party's regulations for intercourse) and joining the Brotherhood. Winston isn't as cowardly as he was nor was he as weak, but still too fragile, and though his love for Julia and to find the truth was strong the brutality he endured broke him.
