"Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive"(Marianne Faithfull). In the book 1984, by George Orwell, there are three super countries: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. The whole world lives in poverty, and under a totalitarian government. Oceania is the home to, the mutinous couple, Julia and Winston. Although the couple is very rebellious; however, Julia revolts in the present, contradicts Winston, and is not like any other women who is described in the book.
