"to see deeper...into the human soul...(xvi)"

But see- Daniel C. Dennett, _Freedom Evolves_, Viking, 2003. p.1: 

    One widespread tradition has it that we human beings
    are responsible agents, captains of our fate, "because"
    what we really are are "souls," immaterial and immortal
    clumps of Godstuff that inhabit and control our material
    bodies rather like puppeteers. It is our souls that are the
    source of all meaning, and the locus of all our suffering,
    our joy, our glory and shame. But this idea of immaterial
    souls, capable of defying the laws of physics, has outlived
    its credibility thanks to the advance of the natural sciences.
    Many people think the implications of this are dreadful: We
    don't really have "free will" and nothing really matters. The aim
    of this book is to show why they are wrong.

cf:

    "They can make you say anything- anything- but they can't
    make you believe it. They can't get inside you." The poor
    kid. You want to grab her and shake her. Because that is
    what they do- they get inside, they put the whole question
    of the soul, of what we believe to be an inviolable inner core
    of the self, into harsh and terminal doubt. By the time they
    have left the Ministry of Love, Winston and Julia  have
    entered permanently the condition of doublethink, the
    anterooms of annihilation, no longer in love but able to hate
    and love Big Brother at the same time. It is as dark an
    ending as can be imagined. (xxiii)

If there is no possibility "question of" a soul to put "into harsh 
and terminal doubt," what would O'Brien do for a living? Maybe 
that's just another question for "The Late, Late, Late Show."
