1984 Julia Quotes
Within the novel 1984 lie multiple characters, some more complex than others, but one character truly stands out above the rest, Julia. Julia is quite young and mostly obeys the Party’s rules, she usually defies the little rules but claims to be breaking the “big” ones. Julia makes it clear that she hates the Party, yet does not want them to be eradicated? Surely Julia keeps heads spinning, this is certainly true in Winston's case. Winston is quite special himself, at the beginning of 1984, the feelings he felt towards Julia were more or less violent. When Winston first set eyes on Julia the only thoughts running through his head involved killing and raping her, “He would flog her to her death with a rubber truncheon” (Orwell 18). In the end,

    Looking back in the book 1984 there were many issues that were happening such as Winston and Julia are put in a cage, Room 101 and how bad it was, and Winston and Julia being careful when talking to each other.

Even though talking to each other was hard, Winston did manage a way to try and be with…

    How Are 1984 Winston And Julia Similar

    Specifically, Julia expresses how she feels when she says, "'I am not interested in the next generation"(Orwell 156). Julia does not care to think about the future and what would happen like, but would rather think about herself now and what she will do. She only cares about the present of herself while Winston cares for the present of himself and society and the future generations. He questions what is going happen and thinks about why society is like this. In 1984, George Orwell explained how Julia feels when he wrote “She seemed to think it just as natural that ‘they’ should want to rob you of your pleasures as that you should want to avoid being caught. She hated the Party, and said so in the crudest words… Except when it touched her own life she had no interest in Party doctrine,” (Orwell 131). Julia is concerned on why they take away happiness from society. Winston explains the passion she has when she talks about the Party. Julia is a woman who likes to enjoy herself, and she isn’t allowed to so that is why she is against the Party. Winston and Julia think differently on what is wrong with society and why they care for…

    George Orwell's 1984: When Is Rebellion Justified?

    Furthermore proving this idea is when Winston and Julia are having sex. Winston says this to the readers “No emotion was was pure, because everything was mixed up with fear had hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political act,” (Orwell 126) This explain Winston’s idea of sex that it’s simply a superficial way to get revenge against the party not to love. But some people might say Winston truly did love Julia, if so why did Winston betrayal Julia, when facing rats that were attach to him. This is proving the idea that all rebellion could always be…

    Abigail Adams Rebellion Quotes

    While it can be looked upon in more depth, it is stated clearly that the lovemaking that the characters share is not actually love, rather just an impure “political act” to rebel against the Party. For example, Orwell writes, “No emotion was pure, because everything was mixed up with fear and hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political act” (138). There are many examples in this novel that clearly portray this relationship as just a simple act of rebellion, this being one palpable example. The author describes their embrace as a battle, implying a battle against the government; their “climax a victory,” implying that that climax had just been what they were hoping for, a blow to the face of Big Brother. This embrace screams, “Look at us, we wanted to battle against you and we were handed the trophy just following the climax.” However, Winston might as well have also been yelling out that he had no idea who the woman was that he just had sex with since “even now he had not found out her surname or her address. However, it made no difference [to him], for it was inconceivable that they could ever meet indoors or exchange any kind of written communication” (139). With this stated, once again, it shows that Winston is not concerned about the actual human that Julia is, rather…

    How Does Julia Song Relate To 1984

    This song relates to 1984 from the point of view I imagine being Julia’s. This song is all about a girl who knows places that her lover and her won’t be found. Julia is that girl. In the title and repeated various times throughout the song, “I know places” relates to the combined efforts of the two 1984 lovers (Winston and Julia) in finding somewhere to hide. And the only way for them to be together is by going to “places where they won’t be found”.…

    George orwell, "1984"

    Winston's rebellious character portrays him as a radical, who has the strength to defy the party and its principles. Winston and Julia secretly meet and it becomes apparent that she shares his rebellious ways. Learning that she has engaged in sexual acts with numerous Inner Party members, Winston finds hope. Winston and Julia, however, rebel against the Party for different reasons. Winston wants to end the harsh oppression of the party while Julia's rebellious acts are more self-centered. Winston first demonstrates his hatred of the Party and Big Brother when he writes in his diary "DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER". He knows at that very moment a camera might see the written words on the page. Winston continues to flirts with possible arrest by the "Thought Police" for a thought crime, which is any written or though of rebellion against the Party.…

    1984 Compare And Contrast Essay

    The characters, Julia and Parsons, are very different.While Parsons is an unattractive man who supports the Party, Julia is a young, attractive woman who despises the Party very much. These depictions are what make Winston like Julia, and hate Parsons as much as he does. A similarity between characters has to do with O’Brien and Julia. They both plan a secret meeting with Winston, and both have watched Winston without him knowing anything. O’Brien’s plan to meet Winston is by walking with Winston and telling him to stop by his place to grab something. He gives Winston his address, and Winston gives O’Brien his attention. Julia takes a different approach, but it is still as effective. She knocks into Winston on the street, and in the process of him helping her up, she gives Winston a note. After Winston reads the note, he knows that the two need to meet. No matter the differences, these characters all played roles that shaped Winston’s life and perspective of…

    1984 Quote Analysis

    Any signs of physical attraction to another member or Prole can result in becoming an “unperson”. “He thought of her naked, youthful body, as he had seen in his dream. He had imagined her a fool like all the rest of them, her head stuffed with lies and hatred, her belly full of ice. A kind of fever seized him at the thought that he might lose her, the white youthful body might slip away from him!” (p. 109-110). This quote proves that Winston indeed has a physical attraction to Julia, but not because he loves her, but because he wants to prove a point against the Party without them actually knowing. By stating that she is “a fool like all the rest of them, her head stuffed with lies and hatred, her bell full of ice”, Winston attempts to mock the Party by presenting a case where he has attracted a devoted Party member and therefore broken their stronghold. But as later seen in the novel, physical attraction may not only be the main idea behind the ‘love’ Winston has for…

    Is it true love or simply rebellion?

    Before Winston became acquainted with Julia, he initially expressed hatred towards her, as it is demonstrated when stated “suddenly his heart turned to ice and his bowels to water” The quote could illustrate that Winston could not merely withstand the sight of Julia without loathing her and that he even envisioned “hitting her with a cobblestones” to commit a premeditated murder suggest that Winston was prepared to commit one of the grandest sin so he could eliminate Julia. The word “suddenly” propounds that he could not resist the presence of Julia which he involuntarily felt impulsively, suggesting that their attraction could have been fateful; nonetheless, one may argue that Winston was merely unable to distinguish the difference between “love” and “hate” to which he concluded that he hated Julia’s presence; alternatively, it should be noted that Winston could have simply been petrified due to…

    George Orwell 1984 Heroism Analysis

    Winston’s rebellion first takes place on more of an intellectual level, including reading and thought crime, unlike Julia’s who takes rebellion on more of a physical level. They both choose to think for themselves in pursuing an intimate relationship together. Winston not only ignored The Party’s teachings of how love was wrong, but, they ignored the possible consequences of doing such crimes. Even when he rents the room in Charrington to share with Julia he realizes all of the trouble he can get into, but, he is so wrapped in lust it blinds…

    Similarities Between 1984 And The Handmaid's Tale

    Winston and Julia affair serves as a personable reminder for the reader to be conscious of how governmental bodies can mold the day-to-day lives of its citizens and prevent them from making the most basic connections out of fear of judgement or persecution. By approaching the text with a political rebel mindset, Orwell sends the reader on a plotted timeline where the reader begins to get the sense that Winston and Julia are not the only ones in the Oceanic society that have repressed their sexual and other desires, as Julia speaks of having sex with “hundreds” of other Party members. This builds the reader’s anticipation that citizens like WInston and Julia will one day unite to revolt against the state for repressing their basic desires for human connection and…
