In the '1984' novel, there are several significant deaths. Winston's spirit can be considered as 'dead' in a sense after his torture in Room 101. His transformation from a rebellious thinker to a broken shell shows a kind of death of the self. Another example is the disappearance of various people who oppose the Party, which implies their deaths. These deaths are not just physical but also symbolic of the totalitarian regime's power to crush individuality and freedom.
