At the end of 1984, both Winston and Julia are model citizens. Winston sits in a cafe and drinks gin. Oceania wins in the battle against Eurasia, and Winston is happy and proud, which symbolizes his completed transformation into conformity. He loves Big Brother.

Julian seems to be broken, only a shell of the man he used to be. This is not critique I can't imagine walking even few steps in his shoes.
