- RISING ACTION
- Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth, the government propaganda/media center, editing old history to make the government and Big Brother look truthful. He comes home and begins writing rebellious thoughts in a journal, which is considered "thoughtcrime".
- CLIMAX
- Yes, you are the dead.
- Winston meets Julia, and learns that she is in love with him. They begin to question the government, and Winston wants to find out more about the rebellion called “The Brotherhood,” headed and influenced by a mysterious figure named Emmanuel Goldstein. Julia is less interested in revolting against the Party, but she is enjoying herself with Winston.
- FALLING ACTION
- Winston speaks to a man named O’Brien. He is a member of the Inner Party who Winston believes is collaborating with the Resistance. O’Brien gives Winston Goldstein’s book, and Winston and Julia take it to their room in their secret room. The book does not shed any new light on the Resistance, or Ingsoc’s need to control the people.
- RESOLUTION
- Winston decides that if there is any hope to overthrow Big Brother’s government, it lies in the proles because they are the greatest in number, and not being watched as closely. The picture on the wall begins speaking, and Winston realizes it is Mr. Charrington, who is a member of the Thought Police, and who set Winston and Julia up. They are arrested.
- Winston and Julia are brought to The Ministry of Love, where they are tortured by O'Brien. The torture brainwashes Winston. Winston is brought to Room 101, where his greatest fears await him: rats. When the rats are brought close to Winston’s face, Winston tells O’Brien: “‘Do it to Julia!...I don’t care what you do to her.’” Winston’s re-education is complete.
- MOOR 101
- Winston sits at the Chestnut Tree Cafe, devoid of emotion. He and Julia ran into each other, but were both so changed by torture that they do not have feelings for each other. Winston sips Victory Gin, listens to the telescreen, and thinks, “Everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”
