Six thoughts that occupied Winston's mind during his time
in the cell in section 1 of book 3 include these:
1.
HUNGER: Winston searched his pockets for bread crumbs as there was sinking feeling in
his stomach that he thought meant he was hungry.
The dull pain in his belly never went away, but
sometimes it grew better and sometimes worse, and his thoughts expanded or contracted
accordingly
2. JULIA: He
barely thought of her, yet she crossed his mind enough to mention in the
book.
3. O'BRIEN and the BROTHERHOOD: Winston still had
hope that O'Brien was a good guy and would save Winston from torture and deliver the
razor blade.
4. DEATH: Winston anticipated the death he
would encounter by the razor blade:
The blade would bite into him with a sort of
burning coldness, and even the fingers that held it would be cut to the
bone.
5. THE PLACE OF NO
DARKNESS: He struggled with the concept of night or day because the room that he was in
had no windows.
6. HIS OWN STATE OF SANITY: Winston begun
counting the bricks inside the room. He kept losing count and would have to start
over.
