How sad? Winston is overcome in his life by the Party. They indeed emptied him out and filled him with themselves. As a reader, I was anticipating that Winston would overtake the Party and everyone would live happily ever after. However, Orwell did not write a love story. He wrote a work of science fiction. If Orwell would have had Winston overtake the party in the end, then no one would fear of communism in the world, because they would feel that the will of the human person is to overcome it. However, this is far from true. Orwell hits the nail on the head when WInston surrenders. Communism is something to be feared and something that is not easy to overcome. We all must fear it and work to make sure it never spreads any farther.
