Blog #3: Cimax(Book #2)

* What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of?
This novel make you feel.

Climax is the “point-of-no-return in the story; the point of highest interest in terms of the conflict and the point of the story with the most action”(Mrs. Lavender). Climax of the novel 1984 is when Winston and Julia are caught and arrested by thought polices. It was the point when everything changed. The rebellious feeling against government collapsed. Once they were caught, there was no way that they can do the same thing next day. After the “point of no return”, Winston was tortured, brain washed, and “vaporized” by O’Brien. Mr. Charringnton tricked Winston and Julia that he was the thought police, and allowed Winston and Julia to stay in the second floor. The climax was so twisty that I got goose bumps after reading it. When Julia and Winston said, “ we are dead” after hearing women singing from the out side, another voice came from the picture on the wall, which was “disguised” tele-screen. Policemen of the government took him to the ministry of love, and tortured. In this book, after the torture and brainwash, the government made Winston to say he was wrong and killed him. Interesting thing is that the government is so successful of controlling peoples mind. I am a Christian, but what if Jesus said he was wrong and he was just pretending to be Son of God at the end. Just like 1984, the Christianity would never exist. In addition, even though you doubt about the fact, it is easier to just admit the fact that is on TV, because you are dead if you do not believe.
