1) Do you think John decided at that moment to hang himself or did it take a build up of emotions and eventually he just decided to end it?
I think he probably was unhappy and wanted to find a way out for a while. Then he saw an opportunity to take his life instead of the government doing it for him, so he took it.
2) Why would John not want to go into exile?
He was too strongly rooted in his beliefs. He was so convinved his way was right, he would not give in because he would rather have it his way, or die.
3) 1984 is seen as a distopia and BNW a utopia. Do you think these could be switched depending on the person you're talking to?
Definitely. I think BNW could easily be considered a distopia with the way it abuses technology and 1984 is a great world because you don't have to think. I think that it depends on how people view their freedoms, which stance they take on this.
