In the last scene, a now chastened and broken Winston Smith is sitting in the Chestnut Cafe, drinking himself to death with Victory Gin, and eagerly awaiting the news on the war.
The telescreen breaks in to jubilantly announce a major breakthrough, bringing the war "measurably closer to the end". (Mission Accomplished!)
Winston reacts with both violent pleasure, and a stunning insight that brings him to happy tears. He realizes..."He had won the war against himself. He loved Big Brother."

∙ 9y agoThis announcement is significant because only 24 hours earlier, the announcement had been that chocolate had been reduced to 20 grammes. Today, it is announced that the ration had been raised to 20 grammes. This slight difference is a lie. It also demonstrates how ignorant the people must be to take that kind of lie as truth and continue their patriotic honor of their government. Winston notes the ignorance of the people around him:
Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. Parsons swallowed it easily, with the stupidity of an animal.
What's more, only last week, the ration had been reported as 30 grammes. These people are getting less and less from the government and they are putting up with that. This particularly mirrors Stalin-era Russia when the people did what they were told with little question, if any.

∙ 13y agoA telescreen was a device to simultaneously monitor the victims and give them orders. The main character (can't remember his name) put the telescreen at an angle, so he could hide in an alcove to write a diary while not being monitored.

What are Winston's feelings about the present time after he hears the cheerful announcment on the telescreen?
From the telescreen comes a loud announcement that, among other things, the chocolate ration is going up. Winston distinctly remembers that, just the day before, the ration was being reduced and he wonders if he is alone in this memory. Winston often wonders if he is the only one who remembers what is true, and often finds people to see if he is correct in realizing how things are changed by the govenment.
What does Winston find unusual about Mr Charrington's upstairs room?
Perhaps because there was no telescreen: "He could hear the woman singing and the scrape of her shoes on the flagstones, and the cries of the children in the street, and somewhere in the far distance a faint roar of traffic, and yet the room seemed curiously silent, thanks to the absence of a telescreen."
