Why does Orwell give 1984 the ending he did, and how does it make you, the reader, feel?

Wow, all of the people that posted before me had such great questions, that mine sounds lame now, lol.
This book gave me a creepy/uneasy feeling when I was reading it. That is a difficult thing to do. My question is subjective. It would be "What are the feelings you have as a reader, and why?"
