1984: Post 5

Winston and Julia have a very weird relationship. They say that they love each other but if you really look at them, it is easy to see that they only love how defiant the other one is. Winston hates everything about the party and he wants to be a big rebel. Julia dislikes the party but is able to hide that very well. There is a scene where Winston gets really mad at Julia and claims she is a rebel only from the waist down. Part of me actually believes Winston when he says this because she has slept with several men and the only reason she is interested in Winston is because he is another man she can sleep with to defy the party. Despite some of the things Winston says to Julia, he still likes her a lot. I think the reason he loves her is because she is someone he can share his thoughts and feelings with. Also he will be able to get out some of his sexually repressed energy.
