"Almost as swiftly as he had imagined it, she had torn her clothes off, and when she flung them aside it was with that same magnificent gesture by which a whole civilization seemed to be annihilated." ― Book 2 Chapter 2
Julia is a major character in George Orwell's 1984.
She is the love interest of Winston Smith and a mechanic at the Ministry of Truth. They attempt to rebel against the Party with their forbidden romance and planning to join the Brotherhood that would stop the Party government, but it all ends up going wrong.
Description[]
Julia is a citizen in Oceania who is also a hater to the Party, and a survivalist to the government's totalitarian regime. She also had a desire to have sexual interactions with other Party men and had even slept with them a couple of times. She is an expert on the Party and uses sex as her weapon against it. While sex is illegal in Oceania, Julia loves it since it may have offered her satisfaction and her own way of rebellion.
She fell in love with Winston so she can rebel with him, and even though they may soon be caught, they know that they will be hailed as heroes for their bravery. But from the moment they had their quiet moments together where they made love outside of the city and in their rented room, they were still being monitored by the tele screens. In fact, both Julia and Winston were always watched their entire lives and even their secret affair cannot keep them safe. They were unaware of the Party's actions on them, and how it damaged their effectiveness after betraying each other.
Julia's romance had even committed the biggest offence in Oceania: falling in love which is prohibited. When she finds herself about to be betrayed, she could see that love is weak and that everyone else in her society value themselves more than those they love. After she is a changed person, she can no longer love as she is now one of the many Oceania citizens who are loyal followers to Big Brother and prohibit sexual romance.
