IV.
Prison life became much better, they fixed me up with a new pair of overalls, new teeth, frequent meals and even warm water to bathe with. They had replaced my diary after I was captured and I took it and started writing. I wrote three things: Freedom is Slavery, Two and Two make Five, and God is Power. I accepted everything now. Oceania was at war with Eurasia, it had always been. Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford were guilty of the crimes they committed. The past is alterable. I knew I would be killed soon. I didn't know when it would come, but I imagined myself walking down a hallway and just being shot in the back of the head. O'Brien entered my room, and told me to come to him. He tells me that there is little wrong with me intellectually, but I have failed emotionally. He asks me how I feel towards Big Brother. I said I hated him. He said that was good. I fail to see the goos side of that. But I must love him. I must go to Room 101.
