Chapter VII Overview

In Chapter VII Winston wakes up from a horrifying dream that put guilt into his mind. He had a dream about his mother and how he tortured her by asking for more food. Since Winston father died Winston's mother was struggling so they lacked supply of living. Winston was very greedy in that period when he was less than 10 years old. When there was only one chocolate ration that could be cut into three quarters, Winston's mother gave 1 piece to him and another piece to his little sister that is very ill. Winston then jumped and swiftly took the chocolate ration piece from his little ill sister. Winston mother then screamed at Winston to give the ration back, however Winston fled out of his house while his mother was crying and hugging Winston ill dying little sister. Afterwards Winston came back to his house because of hunger, however he did not find his mother or sister and never saw them again. After that terrifying vision Winston stated the fact that the Party's has total control over you. No matter what you do, one thing or the other it does not make a difference. You would be vanished and no one will remember you and you won't be recorded in history. In other words you have been permanently deleted like a file in a computer. He thought about it after a while then realized that the Party can't control what you believe in, feelings, and perspective. Winston and Julia will always love each other no matter what happens because they cannot take away what you feel. The Party can't alter your feeling's or your perspective. It's something they would like to do and find a way to do, however they cannot do it.
