As one of the
previous answers pointed out,has been changed from the rebellious individual into a completely
obedient and subservient member of the party. This change in some ways mimics Winston's job as a
member of the Ministry of Truth. His task there was to find and destroy any reference to events
or people in the past that the Party wished to erase. Once found, they were changed and edited
out of existence and any trace of them was dropped down the "memory hole."
The bits of Winston that the Party wished to erase have been erased. He no longer feels
any anger at the party. He no longer feels the lust and desire he had for . He no longer feels a
connection towhom he thought was a co-conspirator. He cannot even wish for the reality of a
bullet ending his life as it has now been given wholly to the Party.
Had
they "allowed" him to die, the Party would have lost. By keeping him alive but
reducing him to his totally servile state, they have triumphed.
