1984 discussion question by Melissa Taylor https://padlet.com/taylomel13/9qpuw108vubb Towards the end of this chapter Winston states that the conspiracy he has dreamed of did exist. What do you think the conspiracy is? He also says how he knew that his grave has always been there and waiting for him. Why do you think he thinks this and what details from the book help support your opinions? en-us 2015-04-20 19:00:43 UTC 2015-04-22 13:09:48 UTC hello@padlet.com gabi larkin https://padlet.com/taylomel13/9qpuw108vubb/wish/57818460 I think that Winston believes his grave has been waiting for him because when we are introduced to Winston we see him committing thoughtcrimes and hiding from the government.

He thinks that his grave is always there and waiting because of the way the party runs and how he is consistently breaking rules and has dug a grave for himself with the way he runs his life.

He realizes this from the look in O'Briens eyes and his overall presence.

The fact that O'Brien cornered him and gave him his address after clearly referencing an unperson shows that O'Brien is not drawn in by all of the party's things.

He thinks his grave has always been there because he was always meant to die it's just not his time, but there is no way for him to escape it. All the characters talk about not being able to escape death or the eyes of big brother.

His conspiracy is to rebel against Big Brother and team up with O'Brien to find a way to do so. He thinks it's a good idea to work with O'Brien because he wants to bring back the past and not have Newspeak anymore. Winston hopes that O'Brien really is a part of the Brotherhood and he hopes that O'Brien's appearance in his life is a sign that they need to demolish Big Brother.

I think the reason why he thinks that his grave has always been there waiting for him is because he believes that he is bound to get caught by the Party for all the crimes he has done.

The conspiracy is that there is a secret group of people who plan on taking down big brother. He thinks his grave is waiting for him because he has been seriously committing thought crime which is punishable by death if he gets caught, and he thinks he will get caught.

It could be the brotherhood or his acts of rebellion with Julia. Either way, there is a mode of rebellion through a small, act through "illegal" relationships or a pact through the brother hood.

I think that WInston said that his grave has been ready and waiting for him because he has always had a negative outlook on the government. It must be hard to keep a crime free life with such a negative perspective. So he could easily be put to death for his thought crime

The grave that Winston is talking about is if he fails to over through Big Brother.

And that is grave is waiting for him because he being a rebel of thought crime and also with Julia.
