Julia is wide awake when she is told by him she must stop seeing him so she can survive. They should even abandon their room to avoid the risk of being caught but can't bring themselves to do it. But they agree they won't stop loving each other and even if they are captured by the Party, their forced confessions won't change their feelings. Julia and Winston go to O'Brien's luxurious apartment after Winston received an invitation from him.
They are shocked when O'Brien turns off the tele screen and Winston declares he and Julia are enemies to the Party. O'Brien serves the couple some wine, which they never had before. O'Brien explains to the couple that the Brotherhood exists and Emmanuel Goldstein is alive. He then asks them a series of unsettling questions to which the couple replied 'yes' to all of them. He promises to Winston he will give him a book of details on how to defeat their regime and they will be full-time members to the Brotherhood.
They raise a glass for a toast to the past and Julia leaves. After all the workers are given time off from Hate Week, Julia appears in their room while Winston is reading the book given to him by O'Brien. She is relieved to see he has the copy but doesn't seem interested in reading it herself.
She flings into Winston's arms while they listen to the Red-Arm Prole Woman sing and Winston reads to her the first chapter of the book, which explains the origins of the slogan, "Ignorance is Strength". She listens with him but falls asleep later on. When Julia wakes up, she wonders why the stove went out since she is sure it was full with oil before going to sleep, and she cannot make coffee. Their room is cold, and as Winston listens to the Red-Arm Prole woman sing again, the couple believe that the woman could be seen as a sign of peace to the future.
They were ordered not to move as a stampede gathers outside the house and the voice speaks the last two lines of the St.
Clement's Church Nursery Rhyme. At that moment, the window shatters and black-uniformed Thoughtpolice burst into the room, shattering the paperweight. Julia is punched in the chest, and as she lays on the floor gasping for air, she is roughly dragged away by the Thoughtpolice. She is then taken to a separate room at the Ministry of Love, where she is brainwashed and tortured until her spirit breaks and finally betrays Winston. After being released, Julia runs into Winston on a cold March day.
She is now thickened and stiffened and Winston finds it repulsive on having sex with her. They both admit that they have betrayed each other and pretend to meet again, despite them no longer having interest in seeing each other, and Julia leaves him. Julia is a year-old woman who is typically free-spirited and lively when it comes for her behaviour towards the party.
She enjoys sex and sleeping with dozens of men, as it. Classic Literature Wikia Explore. Wiki Content. Heathcliff Piggy Jack Mr. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?

Perhaps that love is weak and feeble in the face of, um, rats. Or that, ultimately, people value themselves and their own safety more highly than their loved one.

While Winston simply manages to survive, Julia is a true survivalist, using any means necessary to conduct her self-centered rebellion.
Her demeanor is that of a zealous Party follower, but just under that thin surface is an individual with unchecked human desires and a willful spirit, which ultimately results in her capture. While Winston enjoys sex and intimacy, Julia is an outwardly sexual being and sleeps with Party members regularly — at least before she meets Winston.
She does not do this to destroy the Party but to quench her own desires, and that is the fundamental difference between Winston and Julia. His rebellion is as much for future generations as it is for himself; her rebellion is purely incidental to her own desires.
Julia is far more intuitive and realistic than Winston. She understands the Party better than he does and is more cunning in the ways that she defies Party doctrine. While Winston is emotional about the Party and its potential downfall, Julia feels his wishes are merely fantasy and is apathetic to the Party's dogma. She busies herself with getting around the Party, unlike Winston, who wishes to attack the Party at its center. Julia uses sex to attack the Party, but it is far less effective a weapon than love.
