Big Brother is not the one who controls Winston's past nor future. Its up to Winston to decide what his next step is, whether it is cooperating with Big Brother or not. Yeah Big Brother can decide to banish Winston or whatever, but that doesn't have ot stop Winston. Like I said he is in control of his actions and what he should do. It was his decision to do the deeds taht he did and he saw that being caught was coming. I just don't believe that Big Brother controls his past or future.
