Book Three Chapter 2

In chapter two of Book Three, O'Brien oversees Winston's prolonged torture sessions. O'Brien then tells Winston that his crime was refusing to accept the Party's control of history and his memory. As O'Brien increases the pain, Winston agrees to accept that O'Brien is holding up five fingers, though he knows that O'Brien is actually holding up only four; he agrees that anything O'Brien wants him to believe is true. He begins to love O'Brien, because O'Brien stops the pain; he even convinces himself that O'Brien isn't the source of the pain. O'Brien then tells Winston that Winston's current outlook is insane, and that torture will cure him
