Today I realized that something is wrong. Something is wrong with me, this town, and Oceania itself. My ankle felt the worse it has felt in ages, it is so bad I can barely climb up stairs. My estate is called Victory mansions, but there is nothing victorious about it, it is old, gross, the elevator is broken (part of the reason why my ankle hurts), and the people are horrible. I feel like I'm always being watched, and the War Is Peace poster is really starting to annoy me. DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER! I believe the Parsons' children are overtaking their family. The parents are scared of them and are unable to stand up for themselves. The children accused me of thoughtcrime, I believe I might be caught by these children or some other thought police really soon. I also remembered my dream of O'Brian when he told me "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness." What does this mean? Could this possibly be my sub-conscious predicting the future? I guess I'll just have to wait and see... I also had another odd dream to say the least. I was with my mother on a sinking ship, I felt as if it was all my fault, like my mother was dying because of me, could this mean that it was my fault she died? I also dreamt of the strange brown haired lady taking her clothes off and taking me in an act of rebellion. These dreams have brought me into to thinking about my childhood, which I can barely remember.
Dear Diary,
Today I went to my work. I had to update Big Brother's orders and his party records. I hate his orders! He cannot stand the idea of himself being wrong so he forces people like me to re-write the history. People are given less food, but are told tat they are given more food then ever before. I had lunch with a man named Syme today. He is a Party member who revises the Newspeak dictionary. He wants to limit the possible so that it is harder for people to commit thoughtcrime. I also feel that I am being watched by the brown haired lady. I saw her staring at me today. I am worrying that she is a Party spy. I feel that she is the exact opposite of my ex-wife Katherine, she hated sex. I want to rebel so badly, I just want to yell profanities at the top of my lungs. Any hope for a revolution lies in the Proles. They are 85% of the population so if they had the brainpower, they would be able to rebel. I am becoming more and more confused about the past every day. I wrote a letter to O'Brien, I can tell that he feels that rebellion is needed. I also have realized that since you practically are not allowed to say anything without breaking a law, so true freedom is to be able to say 2+2=4. I walked through the prole district, and I wish that I was one of them. Their lives are so simple, nothing to worry, or think about. I saw an old man and asked him about the past, but sadly he was unable to answer these questions because he also had no recollection of the past. I saw the dark-haired girl following me today. I am feeling suicidal and feel that it would be quicker and less painless to kill myself and if the Party catches me they will torture me as well.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I just found a reason to live! I saw the dark-haired women today and her arm was in a sling. She passed me a note simply saying "I Love You." I am trying to find out the meaning of this note. Could this actually be a sign from a higher power. OR just another trick and she really is a spy out to get me? But then she told me directions to a place in the countryside where we can be together. We were able to hold hands.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
We finally met in the countryside. I was worried at first, but then I realized that she is no longer a spy. Her name is Julia, She then preceded to make love to me. Let me repeat, she did not REPRODUCE with me. She made love to me! She loves to rebel more than I do. I believe I am in love with her.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
Julia left back to London today and I immediately followed her back to London. I have learned that Julia is more into rebellion than I am, but she just wants to rebel for the sake of rebelling against Big Brother. I told her about the time where I could have pushed Katherine of the cliff but did not because it did not matter either way . I would still be unable the win against Big brother.
Correction! I meant part two!

Part of me want to settle down with Julia and have a family home kind of life. I want to grow old with her. But she would probably never want that. I met her today and she had luxurious foods with her and we ate together. There was a rat in my house today, I was terrified. I talked to her today and I believe I am falling deeper and deeper in love with her.

Syme is gone, mysteriously. Everyone is getting rowdy about hate week, this is the only time i have ever seen the proles care about any event. I am dreaming that Katherine will die, that way I will be able to marry Julia. I feel a strange connection to O'Brien, and I told Julia, but she does not care. She only cares for herself.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I finally met O'Brien. He told me that I can see a Newspeak dictionary if I come to his house. This continues my path of rebellious acts since the first thoughtcrime I committed. I am fearing that I will be caught and the Ministry of Love will catch me and kill me.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I am extremely jealous of the Proles. They are still "human." People like Julia and I are unable to really express feelings; the party members are robots. I left my mother for food because I was unable to express any emotions of love or affection, and now I am regretting it. But I do love, I have but one love, Julia.

Julia decided to accompany me going to O'Brien's house. Upon arriving, O'Brien shocked me my turning off the telescreen! I now have learned that Emmanuel Goldstein is still alive! O'Brien said he will give me Goldstein's book. O'Brien told me that they might meet again where there is no darkness.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I have been exhausted this whole week. I do not understand how idiotic everyone can be. They just switch enemies because Big Brother said so? What is wrong with them? I have read Goldstein's book. It is amazing, all the things we have been missing. Al these secrets.

I have been caught. I imagined that the proles would at one point rise to be functioning members of society and I was caught. They also caught Julia as well. Oh how I hate my society! I also learned that someone I know, Mr. Charrington, is one of the thought police. The troops beat Julia and me.

I am now writing these diary notes from inside a cold, barren cell. It is extremely bright. I now believe I am at the place where there is no darkness. I am worried that they will torture me and eventually I will have to betray Julia, the love of my life. The Parsons were turned in by their own children, they share the cell with me. I now pray for them to give me a razorblade with which I can commit suicide with.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
O'Brien is a traitor. I don't care anymore. What do I have to live for? Not only is he a traitor, he works for the Ministry of Love and is my torturer. I have now been convinced that I am insane and O'Brien now tells me that torture is the only way to cure me. He is brainwashing me, he has told me that Julia betrayed me. I am beginning to believe him.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
O'Brien, even though he is an evil person, makes sense. He has told me that the Party's torture techniques are perfected, better than the Nazis and the Soviets. He told me that the Party's goal is endless and unlimited power. My body is now deteriorated and gray. I look like a skeleton. I blamed O'Brien but he told me that I knew my consequences the first time I wrote in my diary.

I was transferred to a new room. It is slightly more comfortable and now I have less torture. I have two loves, Julia, and my mother. I dream of us in the Golden Country. I am now allowed to write on a small slate. O'Brien wants me to love Big Brother. I simply cannot. I told him this in a fit of rage and he sent me to Room 101.
Part Three Diary Blog: Chapter 5
ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
Room 101 is a horrible place. It made me do a horrible thing. I am horrible. O'Brien strapped me into a chair. Unable to move, i was doomed for torture. He put rats in a cage inches from my face. I was forced to tell him that I'd rather have Julia be tortured than myself.

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I am now free. I am now a functioning member of society. I thought I had a memory of my mother and my sister, but it is probably just false. I now find Julia repulsive and I can not believe I had sex with her for "recreation." I am glad of my conversion to Big Brother and I have a newfound love for him. I guess it is true what they say, 2+2 does in fact equal 5.
