A Goodreads user asked this question about 1984:
Alert- Stupid Question. Actually a lot of questions So was O'Brien ever apart of The Brotherhood or against the Party. Because I remember him mentioning to Winston the dream where they would meet in a place with no darkness. 2.) Do we ever find out what happened to Winston's wife Katherine? 3.) Does Julia experience the torture with the rats or just told about it?
Charles Brown 1. OBrien would probably not be trusted with his position if he was a former rebel. So he probably just pretended to be one 2. No. 3. She was tortured…more1. OBrien would probably not be trusted with his position if he was a former rebel. So he probably just pretended to be one 2. No. 3. She was tortured but probably in another way. Winston is terrified of rats and she isn't.(less)
