Not merely the love of one person, but the animal instinct, the simple undifferentiated desire: that was the force that would tear the Party to pieces.

Detailed explanation-2: -Winston remembers that no one had heard of Big Brother, the leader of the Party, before 1960, but stories about him now appear in histories going back to the 1930s. As Winston has these thoughts, a voice from the telescreen suddenly calls out his name, reprimanding him for not working hard enough at the Physical Jerks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Winston does not know how long he has been imprisoned because the cell has no windows and the light is never dimmed. He is hungry, but when he tries to retrieve a crust of bread from his pocket, the telescreen voice yells at him; the voice calls him ‘6079 Smith W.

Detailed explanation-4: -Winston never forgot the incident, and one day came upon a photograph that proved that the Party members had been in New York at the time that they were allegedly committing treason in Eurasia. Terrified, Winston destroyed the photograph, but it remains embedded in his memory as a concrete example of Party dishonesty.
