1984: Post 6

At the end of chapter 6 it is said, "He knew sooner or later..." This is talking about Winston and O'Brien. Winston knew sooner or later he would go and talk to O'Brien or O'Brien would come and talk to him. Winston had a dream where O'Brien told him they would meet in the place with no darkness. Obviously this is foreshadowing the fact that O'Brien is going to teach Winston something and that O'Brien is apart of the brotherhood. (As you know I've already finished the book because I'm doing these blogs really late.) My opinion of O'Brien at this point of the book ignoring the end of the book is that he is a legitimate rebel and will try to help Winston and Julia. Granted I know now that at the end of the book he turns them both in and turns out to be a party operative.
