"Not physically. Six months, a year- five years, conceivably. I am afraid of death" (136).
The quote shows how Winston is a human, and does fear things. I think the quote is significant because Winston's statement of I am afraid of death shows that he is overwhelmed and scared of the party. The party's control over everything actually puts a fear into many people, and they believe anything you do to disobey to the party will result in death.
