1984 Winston And Julia's Relationship

In the beginning, Winston didn 't like this girl names Julia. She was "a bold-looking girl" about 27 years old, with thick dark hair, a freckled face. At first Winston didn’t like Julia when he met her but, he didn 't know why. He usually didn’t like woman that were young and pretty. Soon Winston realized that he didn’t like her because she had something he didn’t, which was a young, beautiful, strong woman. Winston knew there

Whether it is writing in his journal, exchanging glances with O’Brien, or talking to Julia, Winston craves a “person who could be talked to” (252). Despite the extreme amount of torture that O’Brien has inflicted upon him, Winston falls in love with O’Brien’s company. Winston states that whether “O’Brien [is] a friend or enemy” (252), is irrelevant; for, all he cares about is having a source of understanding. However, in order to gain O’Brien’s will to understand, Winston must transform his views to coincide with O’Brien’s. Under this impression, Winston alters his beliefs so that “each new suggestion of O’Brien’s had filled up a patch of emptiness and become absolute truth” (258). Winston’s desire to gain to companionship of O’Brien makes him susceptible to O’Brien’s words, as everything he says “become[s] absolute truth” (258), such as the idea that “2 + 2 = 5” (35). Winston’s conforming to O’Brien’s thinking “fill[s] up a patch of emptiness” (258), and provides him with the sense of unity that he desires. With that said, once Winston subsides to the beliefs of O’Brien, and falls in love, he essentially “love[s] Big Brother” (298) because of the shared beliefs between O’Brien and the Party. Winston’s love for O’Brien is transferred to his love for Big Brother for the greater amount of unity the Party has to

He breaks free from the chains of the government. Winston gradually started to rebel, beginning with the fact that he purchased a journal to write down his thoughts. He was even surprised at himself because while writing, he discovered his true feelings about the government and he unconsciously committed a crime. Also, writing in a journal can give the Thought Police reason to arrest or kill you. His disagreement with the Party continues and on top of that he starts developing feelings for a woman in his work. Winston actually loathed Julia at first because he couldn’t have her. She is described as a minimalistic seductress because of her natural beauty. He called her “girl with dark hair” (39). The woman, Julia, initiated the illegal act, but Winston allowed it to progress. He even elevated it by renting a room with her. In this room, they often committed crimes to the Party, such as being together and writing in his journal. They knew that they couldn’t get away with it for long and like many of the modern heroes, he did it anyway. To their surprise they received a summons from O’Brien, a member of the inner party, asking them to meet. Winston agrees because O’Brien has more authority than him. As a reader, you would think that Winston would be afraid of him because of his connections to the inner party, but actually Winston was intrigued about his intelligence. At their meeting, Winston and Julia thought they had discovered an ally because O’Brien claimed he was

In conclusion, Winston and Julia’s relationship is formed through their similar need to rebel against the Party, while their different views on the Party and life strengthens the particular character Orwell portrays them to be. Although both characters chose to rebel, they each do it in a different way. Winston finds beauty and appreciation in freedom , while Julia is blinded by her own needs. As well Julia lives in the moment while Winston is constantly remembering his past. The personality traits of a person can depict their future, including their achievements and downfalls.

Winston did not love Julia at first sight in fact it was the complete opposite he wanted to rape and murder her. They started meeting each other in a secret room that was "safe" from all the tele screens or so they thought. Once they start talking and explaining their perspective on Big Brother Julia really doesn't have an opinion on much, she doesn't really care about anything at all. She explains to him that he doesn't have to care about Big Brother he realizes that he needs to stand up for what he believes in. Therefore he starts rebelling against Big Brother and their injustices they impose on their citizens. "Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced,not because it has been sober,responsible,and cautious, but because it had been playful,

Winston and Julia are individualists because they both hate Big Brother and rebel against it. However, Winston rebels at first by illegally buying a diary and then writing in all kinds of entries especially, ‘Down with Big Brother.’ He seeks to join Brotherhood and knows that his sexual relationship with Julia is only

However, in chapter four ‘their first love-making had been simply as act of the will. But after the second time it was different.’ Winston appears to be falling in love with Julia and it seems to be mean more than just rebelling against the

In the novel 1984 written by George Orwell, the main character Winston, and his lover Julia possess many similar aspects, but at the same time share totally different views. As we advance through the novel, we can see their audacious acts against the Party together and the unexpected heartbreaking split at the end. The multiple characteristics of these two characters range from their courageous acts against the Party and their need for freedom, to the reasons behind their actions and their hopes for the future. Although Winston and Julia are similar in some areas, they are very different in others. To begin with, Winston and Julia both daringly perform taboo acts against the Party’s standards.

I think Winston entered the relationship with Julia to satisfy a desire and/or a curiousity. He becomes more bold and thoughtful about humanity with his relationship to Julia. His williingness to rebel against the Party is increased through his relationship with Julia, but he hesitates more than Julia does about it. Finally, Winston has no hope for the future of mankind, unless the Party is removed from the equation. In the end, he dies tragically, but at least he experienced a short joy with his relationship to Julia.

When Winston and Julia are found together and taken away from their hideout, they are scared of what the future will hold for them. “The two are later besieged in their flat by a voice from a hidden telescreen and then stormed by guards who arrest them” (Harris). Neither Winston nor Julia saw it coming but they knew it was going to happen eventually. After that, they know in their minds that their rebellion has come to an end. “Winston and Julia are separated; Winston eventually finds that Charrington is a member of the Though Police and O'Brien a member of the Inner Party” (Harris).

Many protagonists seek the support of someone besides themselves as a figure of hope and reassurance. Julia is a strong, opinionated woman whose presence in the novel strengthens Winston Smith’s ability to live. 1984 by George Orwell is a dystopian novel that takes place in Oceania. This society is controlled by the Party and supported by the Inner and Outer Party members as well as the Proletariats. Julia and Winston are potentially the only living people that disagree with the actions of the Party.

Later in the book Julia and Winston meet in a hallway and she falls. While Winston helps her up Julia gives him a note saying, "I love you". They then secretly get together and Winston finds out that Julia has had affairs with other party members, even though this is strictly forbidden in the party. From then on Winston and Julia get together many other times always switching spots so that they would not be discovered.

Then comes Julia, a rebellious and lustful woman who hates the party as much as Winston. She starts the interactions by picking him out of the crowd, and gives him the relationship that he has fantasized and craved. From physical to emotional to mental, there is no question to why

Julia epitomizes the meaning of a perfect young lady in the Party’s eyes. In reality, she was anything but. At the age of 16, she “had her first love-affair… with a Party member of sixty who later committed suicide to avoid arrest” (Orwell 131). This shows how desperately Julia wishes to find a physical love in a society where leaders prohibit such a commitment, unless done by partners who are not aroused by one another and in the interest of the Party. When Winston and Julia begin their affair, the lust is uncontrollable. They often comment on how the Party will never make them break. As they continue, their bond grows stronger. In one scene, Julia wrapped herself around Winston, her body heat comforting (Orwell 144). The close contact of Winston and Julia’s bodies is reminiscent of true lovers. In reality, this was a weak relationship based in rebellion. This is clearly shown in the last scene of Winston and Julia’s cold meeting. In Victory Square, Julia and Winston meet after being locked away and taken to the brink of death by Inner Party members. Julia has now grown to resent Winston as they admit to betraying one another and giving their names to the Party as traitors (Orwell 292). This is due to the fact that the two were heavily tortured when they were incarcerated. From starvation to manipulation by fear, Winston was pushed past the realm of reality into
