George Orwell 's Galvanized As Much Attention On The Future Of Humanity

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

Orwell is characterized through the eyes of Winston when he realises her as ‘beautiful’. It shows his distaste for the Promiscuousness of Julia and strengthens the misogynistic scrutiny of the female sex.

Usually heroes are strong, but some readers are more used to female heroes, where in it could be argued that Julia is actually the main hero, in Orwell’s eyes, as she is brave, headstrong and until she met Winston, she was getting by quite well. Usually, in novels, the stronger character is the hero, the weaker one is sometimes the love interest but foolish Winston is weak and hopeless and is not the hero, more like the one who needs saving. Julia could effectively be the hero, as arguably, she is the one who saved Winston. She is not a fool like Winston, but she trusts him and that is her mistake. Winston Smith: It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other. J: “If you mean confessing, we're bound to do that. Everybody does. You can't help it.” W: “I don't mean confessing. Confessing isn't betrayal. I mean feelings. If they can make me change my feelings. If they can stop me from loving you, that would be real betrayal.” J: “They can't do that. It's the one thing they can't do. They can torture you, make you say anything. But they can't make you believe it. They can't get inside you. They can't get to your heart. “ It is clear that Julia, unlike Winston actually understands the plight of Big

This is compounded by the initial description of Julia's character. As Julia is supposed to be pure, symbolized by the red sash she wears as a member of the local abstinence section, and she is described to be fairly attractive. Wilson's thoughts during one of the daily Hate sessions, however, turn even darker. If in this beginning, Julia is shown as a somewhat positive example of humanity, and human nature, Wilson is shown as a clearly distruptive one...

Through the beginning sections of the novel, the severity of the consequences from Julia and Winston’s affair become quite prominent after the realization that they are taking part in one of the ultimate acts of defiance to Big Brother. Because Julia and Winston are risking a lot to be with one another, the secrecy of their relationship is a key factor in the suspense that builds towards the climax of the story. The suspense greatly affects the plot of the story by

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

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 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.

Julia, just like Winston, was tortured. She acted distance she didn't talk to Winston at first, which is unlike her because she used to be very social. She also seemed like she did not want to be seen with winston, when she looked at him with disgust. Instead of being very happy and full of life she was very tense and in a gray area just like everyone else in Oceania. Physically “her face was sallower, and there was a long scar...across her forehead and temple… her waist had grown thicker and, in a surprising way, had stiffened” (291) Her body was described as feeling like stone. He is suggesting that something similar happened to Julia that happened to Winston. Julia mentions betraying Winston showing that their tortured could have ended the same

With her grace and carelessness, it seems to annihilate a whole culture, a whole system of thought, as though Big Brother and the Party and the Thought Police could all be swept into nothingness by a single splendid movement of the arm.(33)  Julia is the “catalyst”, the spark that inspires him to start his rebellious journey. He starts to defy the rules because of the support that Julia provides him. This gives Winston the strength to physically fight for freedom instead of keeping his revolt locked in his own mind. With Julia he is not scared to commit any sort of crime.

The characterization in this novel creates the reality of such an absurd world. Orwell characterizes two main characters, Winston and Julia, in ways that make them completely believable.

Obviously she had been that way before, for she dodged the boggy bits as though by habit. Winston followed, still clasping his bunch of flowers” (Orwell 149). This quote from the beginning of 1984 proves that Winston could not tell if Julia liked him, or was working for Big Brother. Winston had to meet Julia in a certain spot where no one was watching them talk. The theme, importance of love continues in the story when Julia and Winston's relationship start to get

Julia significantly builds up the unorthodox character of Winston. Together they perform several acts of unorthodoxy including renting the room over Mr. Charrington’s shop, sexual acts which initially are merely political acts, and consuming black market products such as ‘real’ coffee, ‘real’ chocolate and ’real’ bread. Without a question, a large aspect of Winston’s relationship with Julia is his intense desire for human connection, which has been denied to him by the party. He wants to be called by his name instead of “comrade.” He wants to touch other people and interact with them in genuine ways.

George Orwell Attempts to convey a message in the development and deterioration of the relationship of Julia and Winston in the novel 1984. This message is conveyed through the beginning the development and subsequent deterioration of the relationship. Orwell says trough the relationship that people get complacent as they develop and that is what deteriorates it towards the end. Orwell conveys this message to show that relationships, in a totalitarian time, would deteriorate because of the control of the so-called “Big Brother”.

An indication stated by Winston “You’re only a rebel from the waist down” (Orwell 163). This observation shows that instead of thinking her body was pure and should stay virgin till marriage. She thought her body was more of a tool used to rebel against big brother ridiculous restrictions. A second indication is “He worries there might be microphones hidden in bushes, but feels reassured by the dark haired girl’s evident experience. She tells him that her name is Julia, tears off her Junior Anti sex League sash. Winston becomes aroused when they move into woods and make love (Spark Notes). That claim proves that Julia is not looking for anything serious as she is greatly quick to undress herself and bed herself with Winston. This claim also proves that she had been in that type of predicament with other guys witch shows that Julia is the relationship type. The third indication is “Julia replies in a typically shallow fashion she is only interested in herself and Winston in the present” (Enotes 2). This shows the Julia is not looking for anything long term in Winston, but like the pleasuring feeling that he gives her currently. This confirms that the relationship Winston wanted is not what Julia was looking for and reminds the readers that she is only looking out for
