In the first
chapter of the book,andmake eye contact during the Two Minutes Hate. This contact is brief:
according to Winston, they look at each other for only a "fraction of a second." For
Winston, this moment is significant because it provides him with proof that he and O'Brien are
the same. In other words, he now believes that O'Brien is a fellow rebel; a man who hates and is
disgusted by the Party.
In the second chapter, nothing specific occurs
between Winston and O'Brien. However, Winston talks about his dream in which he hears O'Brien's
voice while walking through a "pitch-dark room." This further reinforces Winston's
belief that there is a special bond between himself and O'Brien and this foreshadows their
meeting in Part Two.
