How Is Deception Portrayed Through the Characters Within 1984?

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

The Proletarian woman is a symbol of fertility which makes Winston ponders over how his lover, Julia will never bare children and so defying the Party which Winston loves the fact that Julia has no capacity to complete her ‘duty’ as she is ‘corrupt to the bone’ and has the desire to tear the party to pieces. We wonder about her real personality whether she is so ‘corrupt’ to change her whole nature to manipulate men. She could be the link that captures the depths of Winston’s mind to rebel against the party. Unknown to Orwell, Julia

The effort the two lovers must put in to see each other is unthinkable, as they must avoid telescreens and microphones almost everywhere they turn. When Mr. Charrington allows them to use his room without a telescreen, they take full advantage of it. Seeing as Winston is still married to his wife and sexual acts are illegal, Julia and Winston defy the Party in more ways than one. Winston has changed from full obedience to the Party to defying it due to his outsized amount of hatred for Big Brother. Julia and Winston engage in negative talk about the Party, which puts them subject to arrest.

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...

Having a passionate relationship is no longer a foreign concept to Winston, he now loathes it. When having a conversation with Julia he thinks, “. With Julia, everything came back to her own sexuality." As soon as this was touched upon in any way she was capable of great acuteness.”. Winston does, in fact, enjoy the sex, but after seeing Julia for months at this point, he realizes their differences. Julia is focused on having a sexual relationship with people, but not committing anything that would affect the integrity of the party’s rule. When Winston thinks, “ With Julia, everything came back to her own sexuality”, it is showing the signs of a disconnect. While the love for Julia has not changed in this passage, his quest for anti-Big brother actions is not fully satisfied. The physical relations between Julia and Winston only scratches the surface on what Winston desires.

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 character Julia is an example of the brainwashing children went through in the book. Since she is younger than Winston, she has been more exposed to the Party’s system and their propaganda. Because of this, Julia is much more accepting of what the Party informs her of and does not care about the past in the slightest; not even when Winston informs her of the Party’s lies. It was also stated in the book of a youth league called the Junior Spies, which young children join and learn to become loyal members of the Party, but it had a hidden meaning behind it. Who better than the children to spy on their parents to see of they are plotting against the Party? “Some adults were especially concerned that they might utter something in their sleep, a betrayal of their sub-conscious, and have it be overheard by the telescreen or a child” (“What are The Spies?”). The children are such valuable members of the country that the parents fear their own children. This very action is a reflection of life in Stalin’s Russia. As soon as your child turned 8 years old, children were expected to join a youth organization that taught pride in the USSR and communist ideas, while learning how to work for the government and be useful. They were encouraged to report their parent’s behaviors. Education played a big role in their lives as well. “Education was strictly controlled by the state. Exams, banned under Lenin, were reintroduced. The way subjects were taught was laid down by the government – especially History where Stalin’s part in the 1917 revolution and his relationship with Lenin was overplayed” (Trueman). Stalin instilled a new book in the school called A Short History of the USSR, which told a very censored version of Russia’s history from a very biased perspective (Trueman). The children only knew what they were taught.The children are

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.

In his novel 1984, George Orwell writes of a utopia-gone-wrong with many things resembling that of life under a dictatorship. Throughout the novel, the readers follow the main character, Winston, on a journey of self-discovery while finding out the truth behind the forever watching eyes of Big Brother. In this dark and twisted dystopia, there is an organization entitled The Junior Anti-Sex League, which is an organization to promote celibacy. Julia, Winston’s love interest, proudly displays the scarlet sash, an indicator of a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League, around her waist to make her devotion to the party known. Of all the symbols in the novel, the scarlet sash representing purity and celibacy worn around the waists of the Junior Anti-Sex League youths is the most puzzling and intriguing.

Thesis Statement: Multiple types of betrayal and deception are present in 1984. Throughout the novel, the lies escalate to a point of no return and Winston feels the wrath of each. The White Lie: A small lie that is told to a person to spare their feelings because the truth might cause more damage. Although many people might lie this way to protect someone, it is still a lie and it can cause more damage than the truth.

1984: Psychological Manipulation There are different kinds of manipulation, the physical, which is physically altering an object, or psychological, which subdues the mind of a person to think differently. The party manipulates its people through propaganda and telescreens in order to be in power. The main issues that are portrayed in 1984, from the point of view of governmental propaganda, are: the party members being all uniform and consistent; society not being able to have a true identity; and washing people’s brains without even being caught by the thought police. Everyone in the Party wears the same things, eats the same things and thinks the same.

Deception is a common theme in the book 1984 by George Orwell as it is in the real world today. In the story we see deception in all forms, Winston deceiving others into thinking we was loyal to the party, O’Brien deceiving Winston into thinking he’s a member of the Brotherhood, and even the overarching Big Brother, or government of Oceania, deceiving its people on a daily basis. The most prominent deception, and main deception of the story however is O’Brien’s deception of Winston. His plan and actions to strip Winston away from his individuality and freedom are what make his deception so heinous.
