After Winston is captured by the Thought Police, he is taken to the Ministry of Love, where O'Brien tortures and brainwashes him. O'Brien continually tortures and lectures Winston for seven years in the Ministry of Love. O'Brien hopes to one day convert Winston into a faithful, loving follower of Big Brother. However, Winston struggles to accept Big Brother because he believes that the Party is fundamentally wrong and malevolent. Initially, Winston cannot reject logic and perceive reality the way the Party expects him to. Eventually, Winston capitulates after O'Brien takes him into Room 101 and tortures him with rats.

At the end of the novel, Orwell writes that Winston had won a victory over himself. Winston's victory was his ability to fully accept the Party's political agenda and genuinely love Big Brother. Winston forced himself to neglect logic and learned the technique of simultaneously believing two contradicting ideas, which is known as "doublethink." Winston has overcome his hate for Big Brother and has become a loyal follower of the Party.
