2. Of what does everyone in Winston's cell seem to be dying?
3. Describe O'Brien's actions in the Ministry of Love. What is his ultimate goal?
4. What does O'Brien say is the difference between the Party killing its members and the Catholic Inquisition of the Middle Ages?
5. Why does O'Brien say the Party seeks power?
6. What is the meaning of the term "crimestop"?
7. What happens in room 101?
