Winston and Julia

Winston and Julia have a very strange relationship because it doesn’t seem like they would be a very good couple, but in this society they can scheme together against the party. Julia sees Winston as the bad boy character that can help her feel like more of a rebel, and Winston sees Julia as the girl he could never have. When he first saw her, she was wearing the junior anti-sex league sash so it made her seem like she was just in love with the party and would do anything for them, which made Winston’s feelings even more confused. It is possible that he got even madder because he figured if the party wasn’t in control then he could be with her but they have corrupted her to the point of no return. Julia is different than Winston because she doesn’t care about things she can’t control whereas that’s all Winston cares about. They are similar because they both want to rebel against the party, but Julia’s way of rebelling is to sleep with Winston and his way or rebelling is to create thought crimes and try to disguise them.
