I would say that by the end of the story, Big Brother has won. O'Brien's ultimate goal was to get Winston to leave Julia behind and give up the resistance, and that's exactly what he did. We, as the audience, can assume that Big Brother's main goal is to receive support and conformity from the people of Oceania. Because at the end of the story, Winston learned to love and support him, Big Brother has won, which wasn't what was expected or wanted by the readers, which is clearly supported through, "But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother." I think that at the end of the novel, Winston simply just lives his life as anyone else did at the time. I believe that he went along with whatever the Party told him to, just like any other citizen. Or maybe, Winston's rebellions were to influence others later on down the line, as quoted from Chapter
