Nathaniel Winston answers “Alert- Stupid Question. Actually a lot of...”

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?

Nathaniel Winston O'Brien was never part of the Brotherhood. He was just trying to trick Winston.

We never find out what happened to Katherine after she left Winston

Juli…moreO'Brien was never part of the Brotherhood. He was just trying to trick Winston.

We never find out what happened to Katherine after she left Winston

Julia probably experienced much of the same torture as Winston including room 101 but since room 101 provides torture tailored to the individual it is unlikely that she experienced rats unless she has an irrantional phobia of them too.

It is implied by the scar behind her ear that she was lobotomized or something similar.(less)
