1984 ending
I have to say that I was deeply disappointed in the ending of 1984. I know some people said that they liked it because it was realistic, but since when have fiction stories been realistic? Harry Potter goes up against incredible odds, emerging victorious, as well as Elizabeth from P&P, Eragon, and characters in many other books. I feel that there could have been a much better ending than defeat.

David I agree! I was really hoping that Winston would somehow win or atleast keep his hatred of the Party. I also was hoping that the Proles would have a revolt of some sort even just a small one. The ending of the book left no hope and left me very upset about it :(
