what is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?

"1984"
The climax of the novel is when Winston and his girlfriend Julia
are sent to the government cell. They are cent to the cell
because they have been tricked by the Thought Police, and are
caught discussing ways to rebel against the government. Inside
the cell, Winston is tortured, was in the process of being brainwashed,
and was encouraged to betray his girlfriend who already betrayed
him. By going through both the mental and physical tortures,
Winston gives in, and fails to stay strong in his belief.
This makes me feel pity for the people of Oceana. They have
absolutely no point of living other then to serve the government.
It also makes me believe that the kind of world portrayed in 1984
shouldn't ever be put into real life or else, we'll end up betraying
everything just to live.

What is the mood of this novel? Do you d this novel saddens you in any way? why?

"1984"
The book "1984" portrays the possibility of the society of the world today.
Winston Smith lives in this different dimension. In this different world,
the freedom is taken from everybody. There are even specialized polices
who make sure that the major crime called thinking isn't commited by anyone.
People who rebelled against the government were all "brainwashed" and ended
up obeying and loving the Big Brother. Winston himself is a rebellion along
with agirlfriend he makes later in the book. The mood of the story is sad,
malancholy and any other adjetives that describe the word pessimism.
The people who theWinston considered as friends all either were killed by
the government orbetrayed him. In the end, Winston himself gets "brainwashed",
and goes against everything he's believed for about 45 years.
