Essay On The Differences Between Winston And Julia

The relationship that was formed between Winston and Julia is another example of betrayal between the characters. After their arrest, Winston and Julia were separated and forced to betray each other. When Winston asked O’Brien what happened to Julia, he replied, “She betrayed you, Winston. Immediately-unreservedly. I have seldom seen anyone come over to us so promptly. You would hardly recognize her if you saw her...It was a perfect conversion, a textbook case" (Orwell 259). However, Winston did not betray Julia right away. Naomi Jacobs, a Professor and Interim Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences wrote, “For we know—as, of course, did Orwell himself—that minds do not always break under torture, that some people suffer appalling pain and fear and yet refuse to betray their loved ones and their comrades in arms” (14). Unfortunately, it was inevitable that the

Winston rebels against the party by virtue of changing the society in which he lives in and Julia rebels because the party restricts her physical needs and desires.

     Tired of feeling the way he is, with the monotonous struggle of everyday life Winston decides to oppose the party in more real ways; and begins to deviate from certain set behaviors to free himself from this bondage of the party. “To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone-to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone”(25-26). He has realized what the government does to people; how everyone is made to be the same, where no one is allowed to think on their own. The party is omnipotent in all affairs and he will not go along with it anymore. Winston has made up his mind; he is going to do everything he can to bring down the party. He and Julia go to O’Brien’s apartment one afternoon, and Winston’s true hatred is revealed. “We believe that there is some kind of conspiracy, some kind of secret organization working against the Party,

Julia rebels over the control the Party has over her life. Some of her rebellion takes the form of relationships with men, which Winston doesn't know about. Julia rebels against Big Brother for freedom and being able to love whomever you want. Julia enjoys doing her sexual activities that she does and she refuses to let the Party tell her otherwise. She also rejects the mental controls the Party tries to do.

Julia in the book 1984 can be seen as the foil for winston due to how most of the things he does she will do the completely opposite. In the book Julia rebels in the physical aspect and Winston rebels in the mental aspect. Julia tends to steal food from the inner party members , have sex , and steal other thing to take to the “black market” . Winston on the other hand has a secret diary and keeps on focusing on the past and how it was changed and the lies kept in the party . Although Winston did maintain a mental rebellion this can be seen as the reason he was mind changed and how he ended up loving BIg Brother. Julia on the other hand was always clever she new the war was a fake she made winston realise this but at the same time the way of

Described as “young”, “free-spirited”, and “practical”, Julia differs from Winston in many ways. She is open about her sexuality, and sleeps with several party members before she meets Winston. Although these acts are frowned upon in the eyes of The Party, Julia doesn’t intend them that way, and tells Winston that it is only to satisfy her own desires. Julia only “..questioned the teachings of the party when they in some way touched upon her life”(153). She was too young to remember a life that contradicted The Party’s teachings, and because she believed all Party propaganda to be lies, Julia had no interest in what those teachings were anyway.

Julia and Winston In George Orwell’s novel, 1984, the protagonist, Winston Smith, and Julia are complementary characters. Although they both want to rebel against Big Brother, they do it for different reasons. Winston’s rebellion is in the hope that future generations will be free from the party and not be denied the truth. He wants future generations to be able to live in a time where they are free to think what they want.

Winston a grey and rough skinned, emaciated, fearful, thirty nine year old man with a varicose ulcer on his leg, who hated a woman named Julia. Winston described her as not handsome, attractive, natural looks, and he liked her hips. Winston has many thoughts about mortally wounding her. (Winston) Julia a twenty six year old woman, known as a rebel from the waist down and she’s a product of the Party. Julia wanted to experience love with someone, in this case Winston. Why did Julia like Winston? One reason Julia liked Winston happened to occur because he wanted to revolt against the party. (How) Winston’s rebellion takes place on a more "intellectual" level than does Julia 's. (How is) Winston hated

The main character, Julia is revealed as weak, and incapable of helping her self up as ‘she held out a free hand’ toward Winston

As Winston is captured by the government, he is told that there are three stages of his “reintegration”; learning, understanding, and acceptance. Winston refuses to betray his lover Julia until the last stage as he yells to his tormentors, “Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! I don’t care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia. Not me!” (300). , Orwell) Spewing such harsh and petrifying phrases about his past lover, showcases that Winston under the torment and oppression of the Party has capitulated and accepted Big Brother while breaking the final bonds of his romantic relationship with Julia. Instilling oppression on romantic love ensures that the citizens of Oceania love Big Brother and the government with their full capacity; confirming that the individual will never favour their loved one over the government. Once a courageous individual rebelling against the government, using his relationship with Julia as a weapon, now merrily a shadow of his former past, broken down by the oppression instilled by the government. By betraying his lover, Julia, Winston demonstratesions that the government has won. Contradictory to his initial feeling towards Big Brother, Winston’s love is now dedicated towards the government. In the aftermath of his “reintegration”, “[Winston] loved Big Brother,” (311) , Orwell) leaving no additional room in his damaged heart for Julia. However, Winston is not the only character who suffers with the decision of betraying their loved

Julia and Winston differ in many ways throughout the book 1984. Julia is a much younger women and knows exactly what she wants. Winston is much older middle aged and unattractive in appearance man. They both have different views against the party. Winston wants Oceania to change how its society is ran and hates what its government is changing it to be now. Also Winston wants to change Oceania to be normal and let the natives of the society have an opinion but instead they are changing everything for example changing words into newspeak which makes the words smaller but is also making the society less intelligent. . On the other hand Julia’s views are much different. She wants to value her

After months of staying in the privacy of the secret room Charrington graciously provided, Julia decides to indulge in more forbidden delights such as :“ ‘Real sugar,’ ” “ ‘real coffee,’ ” and “ paint[ing] her face” (Orwell 141-142). To some this may seem as just another rebellious act by Julia, however, by indulging in the simple delights such as exceptional coffee or sugar Orwell provides a shift in her beliefs. In the begging Julia would never have risked exposure to The Party for something as trivial as satisfying food and makeup, as she would prefer spending time in the room Carrington has provided. He has given Julia a space to experience real freedom which drives her to want more. No longer is Julia satisfied with only being able to carry out certain aspects of freedom, but she wants to truly indulge in all parts of it, not just the a couple of the significant privileges, but the ssimple indulgences as well. With this new desire for freedom her views on organized rebellion start to change as well. For instance, Julia starts to talk about “engaging in active rebellion” (Orwell 152). Earlier on in the book Julia couldn't understand why anyone would support an organization such as Big Brother because she just saw them as lost cause that were bound to fail. But due to Mr.Charrington allowing them to rent out the room, she

Julia is first shown as a sexless figure since she is a member of the Anti-Sex League. When Winston first sees Julia, he does not know her name. He only knows that she works in the Fiction Department. Winston “disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy” (10). This demonstrates that at the beginning of the novel, he does not like Julia. He thinks that she is dangerous, and wants to get him in trouble. He thinks that she is a member of the thought police and that she will turn him in. This proves the assumptions of men and how Winston just assumes that Julia is dangerous. According to Meia, a writer for Medium, “Winston started out hating Julia simply because he wanted to have sex with her. In knowing, or assuming, that that would never happen, Winston finds himself cheated out of something that he feels he ought to have” (Meia). Winston does not like Julia because he feels like she will get him in trouble, but he has an attraction toward her. With her Anti-sex League sash, he thinks that she will follow the rules of the Party. He feels like if he would have sex with the young and beautiful Julia without getting caught, then that would be the ultimate rebel and they will defeat Big Brother. Winston thinks that all women in Oceania are all complete followers of the Party and will not disobey the laws. However, Julia's appearance deceives Winston, and he finds out that she is unorthodox and has the same intention as he

Winston fell in love with a woman he worked with named Julia. He and Julia shared the same beliefs and frustrations with the government. They both felt like they needed to rebel against the country's regulations. Winston wanted to outwardly rebel against the government. He wanted to make life better for future generations with freedoms and individuality. Julia knew that cooperating with the party outwardly and rebelling in

Julia is the epitome of everything that Winston loathes; pretty young women, for it makes him think of his own wife and emphasizes his jealousy. However we eventually find out that she shares Winston’s ideals about the hatred of Big Brother, and she is described as a “sexual rebel”, and had sex with various Party members, but saves herself from being caught by the Thought Police by wearing the red sash of the Anti-Sex League. Julia deceives almost everyone in this dystopian society, by posing as an innocent young woman, but secretly rebelling and hating the Party. Julia’s deceiving nature is indicated through her “ripping off the scarlet sash of the Junior Anti-Sex League, and flinging it onto a nearby bough.” The choice of diction used by Orwell emphasizes both Julia’s reckless nature and her dislike for the party; “flinging” the sash indicates to the audience that she does not actually believe in the Junior Anti-Sex League; that is was indeed a cover to protect herself from being caught, and the word “scarlet” to describe the color of the sash is perhaps even a warning or a foreshadowing that something bad will happen in the future with Winston and Julia regarding the validity of Julia’s membership in this chastity pledge. Through her actions, Julia has been deceiving the Party for a long time, as well as deceiving Big Brother for she has not been caught for 12 years, until her and Winston’s affair becomes known to the Thought Police.
