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
Although he faces dehumanization by the Party, Winston is able to retain his human rights through his relationship with Julia by utilizing his senses, recalling his past, and creating a private lifestyle away
Although he should have known that his rebellious thoughts would never succeed, However, Winston’s betrayal to Julia is the event that caused his own self-betrayal. After O’Brien introduces Winston to Room 101 where he will be tortured, he gives up his hope and betrays Julia, by begging the interrogators to let her suffer the torture instead. He knows that he must betray Julia to save himself, “There was only one and only one way to save himself. He must interpose another human being, the body of another human, between himself and the rats" (299). While Winston and Julia were in their cozy sanctuary above Mr. Charrington’s store, they discussed the possibility of getting captured, and they agree not to betray one another. However, after Winston finds out that he could easily betray Julia, he accepts the Big Brother in the bottom of his heart and gives up all his previous thoughts of rebellion on Big Brother and the Party, “He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother" (311). Winston feels joy over his love for him and the great
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
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. They finally get a chance to talk they plan to meet up at Victory Square, and Julia wants to meet privately. While they stand together they hold each
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.
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
The love between Julia and Winston made both of them reckless in a dangerous situation. The temptation of being together was enough to cause their capture and ruin their relationship. By the end of 1984, both the lives of Julia and Winston were altered negatively due to their carelessness caused by their love.
Winston appears to be afraid of Julia. He doesn’t like her because of the characteristics that she possesses, such as her being young, pretty, clear minded, which makes Winston willing to rape her, because of the hallucinations that he had, which was the desire to tie her naked, and kill her. He changes his behavior, from having hatred towards her, to all of a sudden fearing her. At the two minutes of hate, where Winston has seen her, he was afraid of her, thinking that she was part of the thought police and that he was being watched. Which resulted in him being afraid of losing his value of thought, and to be caught for thought crime?
Winston and Julia do not completely love each other. It is like they would rather love one another more than actually having the physical and emotional connection only because they relate to each other. They are also very determined to stay together. When O'Brien, an inner party member, asked if they were would be willing to be separated, they both refused. “When they are together they know that they are not alone. It is a human need for companionship and you cannot have this in the party's society.” (BBC) In Winston and
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.

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
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.
