Quote
"I [Obrien] enjoy talking to you[Winston]. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind "(259).
Significance
This statement couldbe meant to have two reasons.One is that this is O'brien imploying the 'good cop' after the 'bad cop'. He has been terrible and violent, now he will be kind so as to lower the guard of to whom he is speaking. The other is that this could be O'brien truly telling Winston that he is like him, which could mean either O'brien was 'insane' at one point, or that he thinks Winston should be thought police as well ( after he is cured of course).
Word
