1984 Part 2, Chpt 4,5

Quote
"He [Winston] wondered vaguely whether in the abolished past it had been a normal experience to lie in bed like this,..., a man and a woman with no clothes on, making love when they chose...Surely there could never have been a time when that seemed ordinary"(143).

Significance
I chose this because I feel this shows a real change in Winston. He begins to think about the past and how it could be different from the future in anyway(like lying in bed for example) but then he changes his mind and thinks it couldn't have been that way. This also shows the Party prevailing through Winston. They have warped his mind so much that he think making love could never have been normal.
