If you can end the story of 1984, how would you end it?Please answer my question.

I will answer in more of a short term way than the first answer.  I will confine mine to what happens to Winston.


It is implied in the book that Winston will be killed.  I will have the book end with him not dying.  Instead, I will end the book with him becoming an important member of the Thought Police and the Inner Party.


I think this would make sense because it would show how thoroughly the society could control its people when it really tries.


By the way, with regard to the first answer, I would encourage you to consider that the USSR fell apart to some extent because of the presence of the wealthy West that was a contrast to their world.  Their people knew they were poor compared to the West and that helped make them want to rebel.  There is no such outside contrast in 1984 so I'm not sure their system will fall apart.
