"O'Brien smiled again. 'She betrayed you, Winston... I have seldom seen anyone come over to us so promptly... All her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly, her dirtymindedness- everything has been burned out. It was a perfect conversion, a textbook case.'
'You tortured her.'
O'Brien left this unanswered. 'Next question,' he said"
Even though Winston was holding on to himself as well as he could, Julia let go right away. She really wasn't a rebel, as Winston said earlier in the book. It was kind of sad, because I hoped that that wouldn't happen. If I were Winston, I would have felt betrayed and angry, but he wasn't either of the two. In fact, he seemed a little bitter toward O'Brien.
