The character development of Julia has been very interesting to me throughout the book. George Orwell constructs a nameless girl who Winston despises during the Two Minutes Hate earlier in the novel. Winston has thoughts of killing this girl because of what she stands for. She wears a Junior Anti-Sex League sash and seems to be the picture of ideal purity. The author creates a fascinating twist in the plot when Winston finds out that this girl is in love with him. The two meet and Winston learns that all his judgments of her were untrue. Her name is Julia, she is corrupt and impure, and Winston adores this about her. The two fall in love and begin meeting as frequently as possible without being found out. Orwell produces a symbol in the two making love. It is a form of rebellion and is thought of more as a political act than a demonstration of their feelings for one another.
