While visiting Mr. Charrington's shop Winston realizes that he could meet up with Julia on the little room above the store. Since Julia was busy with the hate week preparations, she was not able to meet with Winston, he felt like she was cheating on him. He even thought how great it would be if he had a family with Julia, here we see that he is drawn to have a serious relationships not knowing how Julia will respond to his request. Finally when Julia meets with Winston in the rented room, Julia offers him sugar, coffee, and bread, something not everyone from the party could eat, only the inner party members had access to this luxurious food. After showing him the food, she decided to surprise Winston by putting make up on. They stayed in the room for the whole evening. Julia, notices a paperweight and Winston says to her that its a passage to the past, he imagines living inside the paperweight with Julia eternally.
As we can see, Mr. Charrington knows about Julia’s and Winston’s affair, which I believe it might be perilous since he might reported to the thought police. Winston, as a lonely man who almost forgot how it felt when someone gave him affection, he would start wanting Julia for himself which might turn their perfect relationship upside down by Winston becoming more of a controller. In this chapter we also know that Julia knows the song of the St. Clement’s Church, which is such a great coincidence, in that song there might a hidden clue to understand their past, everything before the revolution that neither Julia or Winston have not figured it out. The paperweight is also a prominent symbol, its the world Winston wants for his life, which is to always be beside his girlfriend Julia.
