Part 2 Chapter 9:
Winston roams the streets as crowds celebrate Hate Week. As Winston watches a fiery orator proclaim
that Oceania was now at war with Eastasia, an unidentifiable man casually switches briefcases with him.
Inside the briefcase, Winston finds the book, "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism,"
by Emmanuel Goldstein. Dizzy with anticipation, Winston struggles to contain his excitement over the
prospect of finally working for the Brotherhood. Winston waits impatiently for an opportunity to read
the book. At last he finds a moment to take the book to his apartment in the prole quarter. Winston
begins reading chapters one, "Ignorance is Strength," and three, "War is Peace." The book details the
rise of Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia. The book also outlines how the Inner Party uses the principles
of INGSOC to control people and maintain power. However, as he reads, Winston still feels as if he
understands how the Party controls Oceania but not why it takes such measures. Julia joins
Winston in the apartment but seems uninterested by the book. Winston tries to read portions of the
book to his lover but the couple soon falls asleep together.
Part 2 Chapter 10:
Julia and Winston wake peacefully. They set about making coffee and listen to a prole woman singing
outside their window. This tranquil scene, however, is violently disrupted by an "iron voice" that
states, "You are the dead" (p. 222). The lovers quickly realize that the Thought Police have caught
them. They find a telescreen behind an old painting on the wall and Mr. Charrington reveals his true
identity-a Party spy. Thought Police surround Winston and Julia, wrench them apart brutally, and take
them into custody separately.
