Why Does Julia Love Winston

Improved Essays
Like Julia, every inexperienced girl dreamed of finding that exceptional someone to call their own. She marveled at Winston from afar, but soon she made a move to demonstrate her love for him by showing her bitterness toward Big Brother and the Party. To prove her devotion, Julia connected with Winston by pointing out how she thought they were wrong and by going against their rules on femity, showing her hate for Big Brother and everything the Party was for and promoted to the city of London.

She thought lies and plans were enough to get her around Big Brother and their watchful eyes, however I learned lying and sneaking around my father to go somewhere where with my friends was a bad idea because he caught me by the time I returned home. The only thing Julia gained was a clear mind that forced her into loving Big Brother and what they were trying to force on the world.

The woman, symbolizing hope and freedom, has finally been caught and presumably murdered by the Party. This crushing blow demonstrates the final symbolic use of this character, the symbolism of despair.…
