Isolation And Isolation In 1984

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

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

Julia and Winston managed to meet up out of view of the telescreen and determined a place to rendezvous, this started their forbidden love affair. “Life as she saw it was quite simple. You wanted a good time; ‘they, ' meaning the Party, wanted to stop you having it; you broke the rules as best you could” (Orwell 165). Julia was not so much interested in widespread rebellion; she simply wanted to outwit the party and enjoy herself, unlike Winston who wanted everyone to rebel.

Accordingly so, Winston’s relationship with Julia is about much more than merely rebellion against the party or even sex it is about trust, love, connection, security, loyalty and the face of mankind. It also is primarily concerned Winston’s honest attempt to achieve self

In 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith lives in a communist society, known as Ingsoc, where the totalitarian government oversees each aspect of human life. This regime, known as The Party, procures its power from shattering the relationships that hold individuals together. From the beginning, children are instructed to eavesdrop on their parents and expose them as enemies of the state for exhibiting the slightest of unorthodoxy. Moreover, loyalty towards the state supersedes even the trust between friends and spouses, eliciting a perpetual fear of being denounced as criminals. Thus, betrayal of loved ones allows for unrestricted subjugation of the populace through of isolation.

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 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

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.

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. So these two meeting each other helped him with his drinking gin habits and made his life happier (page

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.

Julia is first shown as a sexless figure since she is a member of the Anti-Sex League. When Winston first sees Julia, he does not know her name. He only knows that she works in the Fiction Department. Winston “disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy” (10). This demonstrates that at the beginning of the novel, he does not like Julia. He thinks that she is dangerous, and wants to get him in trouble. He thinks that she is a member of the thought police and that she will turn him in. This proves the assumptions of men and how Winston just assumes that Julia is dangerous. According to Meia, a writer for Medium, “Winston started out hating Julia simply because he wanted to have sex with her. In knowing, or assuming, that that would never happen, Winston finds himself cheated out of something that he feels he ought to have” (Meia). Winston does not like Julia because he feels like she will get him in trouble, but he has an attraction toward her. With her Anti-sex League sash, he thinks that she will follow the rules of the Party. He feels like if he would have sex with the young and beautiful Julia without getting caught, then that would be the ultimate rebel and they will defeat Big Brother. Winston thinks that all women in Oceania are all complete followers of the Party and will not disobey the laws. However, Julia's appearance deceives Winston, and he finds out that she is unorthodox and has the same intention as he

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

One day during the “Two Minute Hate” Winston thinks he has had a moment with Inner Party member O’Brien; who Winston later learns is a part of the Thought Police and will eventually be the reason that Winston starts to love big Brother

Finally, though Winston wants to fulfill his sexual desires, he is repulsed by the act without an emotional attraction.
