Chapter 3 Part 2

In this chapter we can see that Julia and Winston have develop a romantic relationship between them. They started to set some rules when they meet. They will have to meet in different places, if they were on the street they could only talk for 30 minutes, and  they had to have an intermittent conversation.  It was hard to plan their rendezvous since Winston worked for 60 hours and Julia worked even longer. So, they could not meet every single day, since it was hard to plan a schedule that was good for both of them.

In order to camouflage propitiously, Julia would:  attend lectures, distributed literature for Junior Anti- Sex League, prepared banners for Hate week, and did collecting for saving campaigns. Winston also decided to volunteer one evening every week for 4 hours in the part- time munition so, he could start having good qualities of a good citizen and to not avert any possible suspicion. Julia had a perfect party record even though she is ont 26 years old, the party has trusted to work at the pornography department which has the strictest confidentiality. Julia does not remember anything before the 60’s, all she remembered is that before the revolution her grandfather disappeared when she was 8 years old. She had her first love affair when she was 16 with a 60 year old man who rather commit suicide that getting arrested.

Winston also talked about his wife Katherine described her as “goodthinkful” which meant natural orthodox, incapable of bad thought. His wife believed in the Ingsoc principles and in Big brother, he believes that if she was there she would of had denounce him to the thought police. Winston is scare to get caught by the thought police, and he thinks of death but Julia full of life, makes him believe that the only way to live the fullest of life is by doing the contrary of what the party says.

In order to survive and have a good time, you had to have an infallible record, so the party can trust you,  this way you can break the rules after and be ecstatic. I believe the party doesn't let their citizens be jubilant because its easier for them to control them and always checking what they do, if everyone had freedom to do what they want they wouldn't be working for so much hours, they would start to have other mentalities that can overthrow the leader, Big brother.

Julia was so young when she had her first affair, she was not able to have a childhood which means that in her life there must be a empty space that looks for one day having a family.If she has a daughter she will take of her a lot because she wont want her daughter to experience that same thing as what she did.  Julia and Winston are completely different on how they see the chance of surviving, Julia is full of youth and wants to live her life to the fullest.I believe Winston’s self- esteem will grow now that he was a girlfriend, he would find a new purpose for living.
