I've read 1984 before but I think I mentioned being too young to properly understand its many intricacies

The woman seducing Winston is very dominant. I worry she is working to seduce others and turn them against BB.

Of course, I could be pulling this foreshadowing out of faded memories of the ending

My fucking copy got soaked in Monster energy

It's kind of funny to me, being able to read Newspeak a bit better as an adult than as a teen. I want to, in part, thank the TikTok-ification and censorship of words (for example: g-rape, unalived, plug, etc) for aiding in my understanding. What a time to be alive (:

Wow, lots of foreshadowing

What is there to say that I already haven't – by which I mean my notes in the margins... "We are only at peace when at war. We are all slaves to choice. The unknowing keeps us safe."

Rereading, because I don't think I quite got it last time.
