In part 2 of our glorious tale Winston speaks to O'Brien a man who didn't really play an important role in the beginning of the book but is a member of a secret society that is determined to take down big brother. Although this group does nothing for its members and it's never made clear what they do to stop big brother or if their leader is even alive Winston is excited to join. He is captivated by the mere thought of a group that's anti-big brother. At this point Winston and Julia are sworn in by O'Brien and make an oath to be loyal which Julia interrupts because she isn't sure about one part of this oath they are taking. It shows that she does somewhat care about Winston or appears that she does. O'Brien's home is described as being big and luxurious with a large quantity of servants which, is the norm for inner party members. He gives them wine and turns off the telescreen which is something few people can do. He gives Winston a book, in this book it gives a more in-depth analysis about the party and their mottos. It explains the 3 super states that the world has been divided into. At this point everything takes a steady decline and part 2 ends with Winston and Julia being captured.
The simple pleasantries that are described in this part are things we really take for granted such as fine wine, big private homes and good coffee. It makes one wonder what would we do with out these luxuries that we have become so accustomed to having just lying around the house. It shows how giving the party is to it's members because O'Brien's home sounds like a mansion compared to Winston's run down house. This is where the story gets extremely exciting and I'm anxious to see what happens now that they've been caught.
