"' Excuse me, old man,' he said. 'I can't help it. It's the waiting.' He plumped his large posteriors onto the lavatory pan...'" (Orwell, 234).
This man has let his animistic instincts take precedence over his conditioned mind. Winston has just realised what he is actually going to be changed into, and unfortunately there is nothing he can do about it. Orwell is making a direct comment on our society. People have begun behaving more and more like animals because of the society we live in. In 1984, people act the same way, which only means our society is in danger to dissolve into a similar society.
