Julia also secretly despises the Party, but accepts its rule over her and therefore outwardly appears to be zealously devoted to the Party's causes. JuliaĪ 26-year-old Party member who works in the Fiction Department of the Ministry of Truth. Upon his release, he is a shell of a man, yet also an ideal, loyal, and devoted Party member. As a result of this experience, Winston loses all rebellious thoughts, gains unadulterated love for Big Brother and the Party, and eradicates his love for Julia. Winston is taken to the Ministry of Love and subjected to extensive torture and humiliation, which force him into submission. Unfortunately, the affair is short-lived, and the couple is arrested. His physical and mental health improves, and Winston starts to believe more powerfully in an established covert movement against the Party. Upon meeting Julia, he finds an outlet for his heretical opinions and for the love he yearns to share with another human being. Winston is married but separated, and has no children. To protect himself from discovery, Winston goes through the motions of outward orthodoxy, but relishes his internal world of dreams, memories and speculation about the past.
Winston is also an amateur intellectual who nurses a secret hatred of the Party. A Party member, Winston works at the Ministry of Truth correcting "errors" in past publications. Winston is a quiet 39-year-old man living in Oceania in the year 1984. Julia gives Winston hope, and it is the continuation of this hope that gets them both destroyed.The novel's protagonist. She shows Winston, who once imagined raping and killing her, that the Party cannot get to the most intimate places in a human being's mind she is his proof that the feelings that he has been having are valid. Julia does not follow these strict sexual codes and, in fact, breaks them at every opportunity.
Winston can remember a time when affection was shown for affection's sake and is angry at women for what the Party has done to them. Winston has real antipathy toward women resulting from the Party's indoctrination and from its stringent sexual codes. She functions as a sounding board for Winston, but she is far more complicated than that. Superficially, Julia seems like an uncomplicated character. Separating the couple diminishes their effectiveness: As individuals they do not understand the party wholly, nor are they capable of resistance. But not until their love was strong did the Party intervene. Both had been watched for years and could have been captured at any time. Note that the couple was caught at their happiest moment, the moment where they let down their guard and felt like an ordinary couple. When Julia and Winston fall in love, they commit the ultimate offense against the Party. Julia uses sex to attack the Party, but it is far less effective a weapon than love. She busies herself with getting around the Party, unlike Winston, who wishes to attack the Party at its center. 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 understands the Party better than he does and is more cunning in the ways that she defies Party doctrine. Julia is far more intuitive and realistic than Winston. His rebellion is as much for future generations as it is for himself her rebellion is purely incidental to her own desires. 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. While Winston enjoys sex and intimacy, Julia is an outwardly sexual being and sleeps with Party members regularly - at least before she meets Winston. 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 simply manages to survive, Julia is a true survivalist, using any means necessary to conduct her self-centered rebellion. She represents the elements of humanity that Winston does not: pure sexuality, cunning, and survival. Julia is Winston Smith's love-interest and his ally in the struggle against Big Brother.
