@shinjitsu If Winston Smith was ultimately brainwashed like the rest of the proles and the outer party, it makes no sense that he wouldn't have already been sufficiently conditioned to begin with, like the rest of them. It seems like Orwell's premise, which was that humans are fundamentally and totally programmable, butted up against the need to have a protagonist in the book.

@Barry White I disagree I think the idea was that everyone has some varying degree to how easy it will be to program them, and they choose Winston as a case of someone who is very hard to get control of. They even have a system built in to catch these people who are hopeful for revolution

And he does get programmed at the end when he finally gets killed

@Deleted User one is Dreamland by Sam Quiones
