In 1984 what were O'Briens questions when Winston and Julia go over to his apartment?

O'Brien asks several very specific questions to determine
the possible loyalty that Julia and Winston might have to a rebellion such as the
alleged Brotherhood. They are these:


1. Are you prepared to
give your lives? 

2. Are you prepared to commit
murder? 

3. Are you prepared to sabotage other
people?

4. Are you prepared to betray your country to foreign
powers? 

5. Are you...

"prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to
corrupt the minds of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage
prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases -- to do anything which is likely to
cause demoralization and weaken the power of the
Party?"



6. Could you throw
sulfuric acid in a child's face?


7. Are you willing to lose
your identity?


8. Are you prepared to commit
suicide?


To all of these questions the two answered
"yes"...


9. Are you prepared, "the two of you, to separate
and never see one another again?"


Julia said she could not
do this... and eventually Winston did too.
