“But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

Simplified Meaning:

The quote talks about someone who has finally accepted and embraced a powerful authority figure, even if it took a lot of effort and internal conflict to get there. Imagine being in a situation where you initially reject and struggle against a new way of thinking or a new rule. Over time, you find it exhausting to keep fighting against it, and slowly you start to see the benefits or simply get used to it. In the end, you not only stop fighting but also accept it fully and even start to support or love it. Think of a person who moves to a new country with very different customs and rules. At first, they might resist these changes and feel nostalgic about their old ways. As time goes on, they adapt, accept, and start appreciating the new system. Eventually, they might find that they love living in this new place and support its ideas entirely. The advice here suggests that sometimes, rather than fighting change, learning to accept and adapt can lead to inner peace and contentment. It encourages finding harmony by aligning oneself with the inevitable or the powerful elements in life.
