The Place Where There is no Darkness

This is perhaps one of my favourite aspects of this novel. We hear from Winston that in a dream he heard "We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness" and that he believes it was O'brien's voice he heard it from. To make a long story short, it was O'brien, and they do. The fact that the place where there is no darkness is the interrogation rooms of the Ministry of Love and that they meet their at the darkest point of the story is an example of the duplicity and deceit that permeate the book. This deceit is perhaps wht makes me appreciate the novel so much. All throughout the book this statement is used as a hope for the future, as a sign that everything will turn out alright, and when it turns out the exact opposite we are let down in an impressive fashion.
