Isolation And Isolation In 1984

In describing his thoughts on Julia when he first saw her, Winston says, ““‘I hated the sight of you,’ he said. ‘I wanted to rape you and then murder you afterwards. Two weeks ago I thought seriously of smashing your head in with cobblestone’” (121). Winston’s hate for Julia is evidently severe because he “seriously” thought of killing her. The hatred feels even more real because not only did he want to “murder” her, he also wanted to “rape” and degrade her. The hate is graphic and raw which makes it feel real, but his feelings change so quickly to love that the authenticity of these feelings are

Believing that O’Brien is a member of the Brotherhood and he too is opposed to the Party, Julia and Winston pay him a visit at his apartment. O’Brien tells the two that they must be willing to lose their own lives in order to take down Big Brother; however, when he asks if they would be willing to betray one another, they refuse. Winston’s hatred for Big Brother has accumulated so much that he is now willing to die solely for the sake of taking down the Party. At the start of the novel, Winston could not stand the thought of his own death. The thought haunted him, and he was not prepared for that to happen. As the story progresses and Winston is being oppressed in more and more ways, he despises the Party more than ever, and eventually is

This chapter starts off by him walking to work when Julia falls in front of him, while she hurted her arm. Winston noticed that her arm is in a sling so he helps her up even though he thinks that she is part of the Thought Police. And Winston thinks that she is against him because of that. But she falls on purpose and slips a folded piece of paper in his hand, and she continued walking acting like nothing happened. Winston waited to open the note, when he opened it the note said “I love you”. For the rest of the day Winston could not focus he was bust trying to find a way to meet her. In the next few days he sees her in canteen but he couldn’t really speak to her because there was no privacy there.

At first, Winston felt no true attraction to Julia, but in their second time making love, Winston felt the physical loyalty that is involved in relationships. Winston was in love with Julia and they had created a bond of loyalty together which is very dangerous to do so

Before Winston met Julia, his body was wasting away and he believe he didn’t have anything worth living for. He started a journal and wrote “DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER” all over a page, even though he knew he would be killed for committing thoughtcrime (19). However, when he sees “the words I love you [on Julia’s note,] the desire to stay alive had welled up in him, and the taking of minor risks suddenly seemed stupid” (91). Not only has Winston’s appetite for life returned because of Julia’s affection, but he becomes physically healthier as well. He “had grown fatter, his varicose ulcer had subsided… [and] his fits of coughing… had stopped” (124). Julia’s love strengthens Winston. After detailed planning to assure the Party could not eavesdrop on their date, Julia and Winston spend a whole afternoon in the countryside together and make love (98-106). This adventure is even more special to them because it is an act of rebellion against the Party, though they realize the fact they are able to be together is all that is important. Through each of their rendezvouses, Winston and Julia’s relationship grows stronger. Whenever they meet, “they [sit] talking for hours” (108). All the time they spend together leads

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.

She is a very beautiful, young and free- spirited. All these qualities Winston doesn’t possess therefore he hated Julia even more in the beginning but then ends up to trust, love and enjoy being around Julia. The prospect of this is that Winston and Julia their fresh and exciting love affair that can only allow them to see their momentary benefits and not the consequences that may occur in the

One day, Winston receives a note from the dark-haired girl called Julia that reads “I love you.” While he meets Julia, he hates the Party more and more and his thoughtcrime becomes more intense.

When Winston confides his trust in Inner Party member O’Brien, he confesses to being “thought-criminals” who “disbelieve in the principles of Ingsoc”, perceiving O’Brien to be in the counterrevolutionary group known as the Brotherhood (Orwell 170). Afterwards, Winston reveres him, unaware that O’Brien is a loyal party member who influenced Winston’s life over the course of 7 years. When Winston is arrested by the Thought Police, O’Brien becomes Winston’s torturer, abandoning the disguise of being Winston’s friend and a rebel. Therefore, the Party quells resistance through isolation in a society where all others are utterly loyal to the

He continuously has flashbacks to a sexual experience with a Prole prostitute that increases his desire to have an enjoyable sexual experience with someone. Winston’s hate for the Party continues to grow when he feels this desire because he wants to be his own person rather than what the Party has made him into. Readers are first introduced to Julia when Winston is walking home and a girl is following him. Another act of rebellion and paranoia is seen when he imagines hitting the girl and when he arrives home, he has thoughts of committing suicide because that would be better than the Thought Police torturing him. Readers are again introduced to Julia when Winston walks to the bathroom and sees her again.

At one point he clasped her against him and found that he was kissing a live warm face. During the time of this affair, there were times when these two had to walk past one another without a sign, because a patrol had just come round the corner or a helicopter was hovering overhead (page 128 and 129). The importance of the setting is that it is taking place at a church, without this church they would not have been able to meet up to have an affair in the first place. The importance to the novel, this setting has is when Winston met Julia seven times during the month of June it caused him to grow fatter, his varicose ulcer had subsided, leaving only a brown stain on the skin above his ankle, and his fits of coughing in the early morning had stopped.

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
