"There is no possibility that any perceptible change will happen within our own lifetime. We are the dead"(Orwell 176).
There is no hope among the Brotherhood. No matter how much they can chip away at the juggernaut of the Party, they will never, in this time be able to fully overcome them. Despite this, the members are still ready and willing to give their lives up for the cause. They offer to work tirelessly and even cause pain for the innocent. They work not for themselves, but for the future. As Winston and Julia embark on this journey, they are prepared for torture, pain, and even never seeing one another again. Knowing that by joining the Brotherhood you face certain death, the object is again not to stay alive, but to stay human. The one part of every person that the Party cannot control are their innermost feelings. The Brotherhood needs to preserve the ideas of being human and rebellion for the future generations.
