Week 9

'1984' Section 2

In the second section my question about the identity of Julia are answered. He is a trouble maker and a rebel. It seems like she will do anything to break the rules but when out in the watchful eye of “Big Brother” she is the perfect person. She makes me angry in a sense because I feel that she is going to get Winston into some trouble. It doesn’t seem that he has as much self control as Julia does. She taunts him with bring him ‘real’ stuff such as coffee, sugar, and bread. I also find it odd with her promiscuity. It seems like she is the secret town whore with many locations out of sight by higher authority to do the deed. In my opinion it seemed like Winston is falling in a trap by falling in love with her. However, they eventually break up due to the initiation of them both into the ‘Brotherhood’. O’Brian requested that they break up in order to be initiated and to remain in the brotherhood. Also, Mr Charrington came up in this section. I do not like him and I do not think he is part of the Brotherhood. Anyway, he let Winston use his secret room so he could have relations with Julia. How nice. However, in the end of the section we find out that he is in fact a part of the Truth Police and he was setting the couple up the entire time. I KNEW IT!!!
