1984- end of book

Quote: "Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don't care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!" (286).

Significance: This quote shows us how Winston was not true to Julia and how he basically lied. He said no matter what he would always love Julia and never give up. By saying this he is basically betraying Julia and giving himself to the Party. Winston has lost his mind and he has given up the one thing that he loved so much. He made a BIG mistake!
