"He had the feeling that O'Brien was his protector, that the pain was something that came from outside, from some other source, and that it was O'Brien who would save him from it"(250)

I chose this quote because it shows how Winston is really a coward on the inside. I was not so surprised that Winston folded so quickly and agreed with everything O'Brien said because throughout the story he was hesitant to act against the party. Winston did whatever he could to survive no matter what he had to say or do, and that proves he did not care about going against the Party. Any martyr is willing to die for what they believe in and that is clearly not the case here. Winston is a liar because he said to O'Brien that he was willing to lose his life in order to overthrow the Party, but his actions say otherwise.
