Jan 26, 2021 · I disagree. I believe Winston Smith physically killed at the end of 1984, shot in the head. In the Ministry of Love, O'Brien tells him "we make the brain perfect before we blow it out" and "in the end we shall shoot you."

Winston realizes that the iron voice belonged to him and that he is a member of the Thought Police. The Party is everywhere, even hiding among the proles. The reality Winston thought he knew is not a true reality. Now he can't even tell what time of day it really is. Celona, Tina. "1984 Book 2, Chapter 10." LitCharts.
