1984 - PART 2 CHAPTER 1

"At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive had welled up in him" (109).

Apparently, Winston no longer cared about his life. You can't blame him - he has no family, no friends, & he can't even gain information from the past. Then, when he reads that note, it sparks a feeling of hope within him. It almost gives him a reason to live. At his job, he is supposed to "rectify" the past but his real objective is to decipher the past. Since he can't seem to achieve this, he realizes that his life is not important. So, what's the point of living?

Question: Could this possibly be Katharine?
