Why does Winston love O'Brien?

Winston’s feelings toward O’Brien can be seen as a form of Stockholm syndrome.

Stockholm syndrome happens when a victim starts to bond with or even love the person who is harming them, often as a way to cope with trauma. In 1984, O’Brien becomes both Winston’s torturer and his only source of attention and "truth." The Party breaks Winston down so completely that he starts to accept—even love—his abuser. This is a powerful example of psychological manipulation and shows how totalitarian systems can twist even the most basic human emotions.

What is the difference between symbolism and motif?

Symbolism is when something in a story—like an object, action, or color—represents a deeper meaning. For example, a broken clock might symbolize lost time.

Motif is a repeated idea, image, or theme that shows up throughout a story to support the bigger message. For example, in 1984, the constant mention of eyes or being watched is a motif that reminds readers of surveillance.

What is the significance of the quote "We will meet again: in the place where there is no darkness"?

The phrase is important because it sounds hopeful but is actually misleading. It seems to promise a safe, bright place after escaping the totalitarian society, but really it means the ministry of love : where they rewire your brain.

Explain the reasoning behind 2 + 2 = 5

2 + 2 = 5 is the ultimate symbol of mind control and the loss of independent truth. also about breaking individual thought. Winston knows 2 + 2 = 4, but under torture and pressure, he’s forced to question that fact. When he finally accepts 2 + 2 = 5, it shows the Party has truly conquered his mind.

What is the significance of Mr Parsons being in the prison with O'Brien?

The significance of Mr. Parsons being brought into the jail in 1984 is that it shows how deeply the Party controls and corrupts personal life—even family relationships. He is arrested for thoughtcrime, not because he openly rebelled, but because his own daughter turned him in for saying something in his sleep. Parsons doesn’t even seem angry; he’s proud of his daughter and believes the Party is always right. That blind loyalty makes the scene even more chilling.
