Winston woke up and suddenly the memories of his previous conciseness came flooding back. He remembered lying in the bed above Mr.Charrington’s shop with Julia. He remembered the voice from behind the painting and it being Mr. Charrington's voice. Then the police had flooded the room and beat them senseless and took Juilia away. His final memory before falling unconsciousness was Mr. charrington entering the room and then realizing that he is a member of the Thought Police. He looked around, seeing that he was in a brightly lit room with high ceilings and no windows. He is surrounded by telescreens and there are 15 other people in the room.

“You passed the test,” said O’Brien. “You have truly proven to me that you despise and hate Big Brother to your core and that nothing will break your spirit”. “What test?” “What are you talking about?”, said Winston, voice muffled by the hood over his head. “I am truly a member of an organization bent on bringing down the tyranny that is the Party, but I am not the “Brotherhood”, said O’Brien. “ It is true, the Brotherhood is a made up group created the Party, but it is used to strengthen the bonds between the people and the Party, to make them think there are traitors in their midst, so they eventually trust no one but the Party, making their loyalty strong and unbreakable”. “So why me?” asked Winston. “Because,” said O’Brien, “no other before you have survived the trials before giving into Big Brother.

There was an audible click and the shelf swung open, disturbingly silent for such a heavy piece of furniture. Winston looked on in astonishment O’Brien said “Here is the place where the real fighter hide, here is the entrance to the Enclave”. The two then walked into the secret corridor, the shelf swinging shut behind them. Then a series of lights turned, showing a long narrow corridor leading to what looked like an elevator.

O’Brien responded, “O’Brien, member of the Inner Party and Council member of the Enclave”. The doors then slid open, and Winston and O’Brien stepped inside. As the doors closed shut, O’Brien turned to Winston and said “what you are about to see once these doors open you must never tell a living soul about this, except the fellow members of the Enclave.
