Character Analysis: Julia By Lynna Nguyen


Julia 




Julia is Winston Smith's lover and associate in the struggle against Big Brother. She's the only one that Winston can trust to hate the Party and rebel against it like him. Julia is sensual, pragmatic, and generally content to live in the moment and make the best with her life. Julia is more concerned about enjoying sex and making practical plans in avoid getting caught by the Party. Julia is well-adapted to her form of a small-scale rebellion. She has many affairs with various Party members and has no intentions of terminating her pleasure seeking, or of being caught (her affair with Winston is what leads to her capture). Julia is a compelling difference from Winston: aside from their mutual sexual desire and hatred for the Party, most of their traits are antithetical, if not conflicting.
