Maybe, still it was what he clinged to when all else was taken. I found it heartbreaking when they broke Winston. The last drops of love, of sentience, of humanity... drained completely.
I wanted him to show a flicker of anything but it was all gone. He was dead and everything he ever was or ever would be had been utterly destroyed along with whatever form of love he had ever felt for Julia and Julia for him.
There is nothing more terrible than that. A fate worse than death, if you'll excuse the cliche.
