The PoW are transported like animals and in inhumane conditions. Sadly, inhumane and poor treatment of innocent people still happens today, most notably in Gaza, where innocent Palestinians are killed, and those that are alive have no access to food, water, or healthcare.

Loyalty: “In a low murmur, Winston began speaking. Neither of them looked up; steadily they spooned the watery stuff into their mouths, and between spoonfuls exchanged the few necessary words in low expressionless voices (142).

# data[].attributes.body
Loyalty to the Party is displayed throughout several points in Chapter 1. For example, when Winston and Julia are trying to converse with one another, they must do it discreetly to hide that they are showing loyalty to someone other than Big Brother.

Love/Sexuality: “yes! actually, she had turned her face up and he was kissing the wide red mouth” (151).

# data[].attributes.body
Love/Sexuality is illustrated throughout Chapter 2 as Winston and Julia finally have some alone time. They begin to get to know each other and realize they are immensely attracted to one another. They crave physical touch, give in to their temptations, and make love.

The dark-haired girl delibrately slips Winston a note, professing her secret love for him. After discreetly trying to chat, they sit together in the canteen and arrange to meet after work in Victory Square. They walk through the crowd and watch the scruffy Eurasian prisoners get paraded around. Despite the risk of being caught for talking, the dark-haired girl grabs Winston’s hand and lists out a detailed plan he must follow to meet her.

# data[].attributes.body
Winston carries out the dark-haired girl’s plan and meets her in a deserted clearing in the woods. He discovers her name is Julia and realizes she’s unique because she expresses her hatred for the elites. Willingly, they proceed to make love, committing an act of rebellion against the Party. The two express their love and agree to meet again.

Big Brother spreads new propaganda that stirs confusion within Oceania. The couple finds a way to sneak out to a ruined church where they explain their past lives. They agree on the enjoyment of committing small acts of rebellion and Julia explains how the Party manipulates citizens in various ways. Winston describes his wish to be rid of his wife, Katharine, and how it almost came true.

Repression: “He learned with astonishment that all the workers in Pornosec, except the heads of the departments, were girls. The theory was that men, whose sex instincts were less controllable than those of women, were in greater danger of being corrupted by the filth they handled” (165).

# data[].attributes.body
Julia explains more details about her department— revealing the repression of the Party members. She says that men are forbidden from working in Pornosec because the Party doesn't believe they can control their impulsive sex instincts. However, men are still the heads of the Pornosec department. It's unfair for male and female Party members to be restricted to one job.

 “Oceania four years ago, had been at war with Eastia and at peace with Eurasia... but apparently she had not even noticed the name of the enemy had changed. ‘I though we’d always been at war with Eurasia,’ she said vaguely” (168).

This phenomenon is referred to as the Mandela Effect. It's reminiscent of how citizens of Oceania so easily have false memories of certain events which demonstrates how gullible people can be.

Winston gets the room above Mr. Charrington’s shop, for it could be a place where he and Julia could be without anyone watching them. Since Hate Week was going on, Julia and Winston did not have time for each other, making Winston furious since he couldn’t meet her. Winston admires the paperweight, dreaming of his life with Julia.

As Winston predicted, Syme is vaporized, making him non-existent and seen as if he was never there. They continue to meet in the room, and Winston becomes healthier. Winston tells Julia about O’Brien not being with the Party.Julia wants to do small acts of resistance while Winston wants to overthrow the party; Winston calls Julia a rebel half way down, which emphasizes her sexuality too.

# data[].attributes.body
As Winston walks in the hallways, O’Brien stops him to discuss Syme’s disappearance. O’Brien, too, was committing thoughtcrime; Winston thinks that he wants to gain his trust since he is committing a crime. Winston thinks to himself how he is committing to his goal of defeating the Party. He is still proud of himself to be on this path.

# data[].attributes.body
Winston’s last memories of his mom were slipping away and for the last 10 years, he believed that he killed her. He hates the Party for making people like him try to suppress their feelings.Winston and Julia also know what will happen if they get caught, they know they will be tortured and killed. They also know being in the room is the way they are gonna be caught but both of them don’t wanna leave the room.

# data[].attributes.body
Winston and Julia go to O’Brien house where O’Brien gets to shut off his telescreens which is only an access for the Inner Party. O Brien tells them that the Brotherhood is real and Emmanuel Goldstein is the enemy and O'Brien asks Winston a series of questions that would test his commitment to the Party. He is able to answer all of them except for his love for Julia.

Now that they had a secure hiding place, almost a home, it did not even seem a hardship that they could only meet infrequently and for a couple of hours at a time.”(Orwell 139)

# data[].attributes.body
The room above Mr. Charrington’s store acts as a place where no telescreens are watching them, symbolizing the opposition toward the Party since they are not being watched. Julia and Winston have privacy and can do whatever they want, which also gives them a sense of freedom.

"By sharing a small act of thoughtcrime he had turned the two of them into accomplices."(Orwell 199)

"In the dream he had remembered his last glimpse of his mother, and within a few moments of waking the cluster of small events surrounding it had all come back."(Orwell 203)

The Party is also trying to remove Winston’s past memories making it hard for Winston to remember them since the feelings he had in those memories were real and not by the Party.

“It was like swimming against a current that swept you backward however hard you struggled, and then suddenly deciding to turn around and go with the current instead of opposing it.”(Orwell 235)

The party never allows anyone else to be in control except themself, even when Winston believes he has a way to defeat the party, and he also always gets a sense of relief when he can share his thoughts despite the danger.

Chapter 2 Q: What are your thoughts on the relationship between a 39-year-old and 26 year old?

We think it's weird how Julia is saying I love you to a stranger and how their hatred towards the party is causing their love for each other. Also, we think how it's creepy that Winston is attracted to her body and not her personality.

Chapter 3 Q: Would you want a relationship like Julia and Winston (sneaking around, not being able to be together)?

We would not want that type of relationship since that’s a lot of work and control to not be with the person that you love. We would not work that hard just for a man.

Chapter 4 Q: How would Winston and Julia’s relationship be affected if they lived in a world with more privacy?

We think their relationship can both thrive and also be harmed. They would have the chance to build a deeper connection and take their relationship to the next step. However, this could be harmful because they may realize they have too many differences that would drive them apart.

Chapter 5 Q: Why does Julia prefer personal acts of rebellion over widespread acts when they are equally dangerous?

# data[].attributes.body
We think Julia prefers personal acts of rebellion because she doesn't think large acts are effective. She has control over how she will personally rebel against the Party, unlike a huge protest with Proles. Although they are equally dangerous, personal acts are more discreet.

“When you make love your using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don’t give a damn for anything. They can’t bear you to feel like that… If you’re happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and the rest of their bloody rot” (145). 

# data[].attributes.body
Julia explains that the Party uses sexual frustration as a catalyst for feverish worship. The happiness people get from sex must be taken so that people can put their energy into working for the Party. Adding to the theme of manipulation, the Party restricts people’s natural impulses to create the hatred and lunacy needed for mindless loyalty.

We think O’Brien’s chat with Winston further solidifies his belief in the Brotherhood because he makes several references to Syme and the Newspeak dictionaries. He’s hinting that he and Winston are both rebels.

We think if the Party members weren't forced to repress their emotions they would sneakily corrupt the Party's system. Since they help adminstrate the propaganda amongst the Proles, they know of all the loopholes in the system.

Since O'Brien is part of the Inner Party, he can turn off his telescreen. The telescreen represents the "darkness" that O'Brien references in Chapter 3 when he says to Winston that they will meet in "a place with no darkness."
