Being The Party In 1984 By George Orwell's 1984

In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, the centralized government being the Party, tries to eliminate the most natural impulses of humans (i.e. sex, love, and companionship) in order to control the masses. Winston is the main character in the novel that tries to defy the Party by affiliating himself with things that the Party is trying to abolish. With that being said, Winston yearns for someone who has a similar frame of mind as him, acts the same as him, and for someone whom he will be able to confabulate with about the circumstantial conditions of the world they live in.
This is where Julia, whom too has been involved in rebellious behaviors herself, comes in. In the text when Winston asks her if she has ever had sex or done anything like it,

He says this to Julia while they were meeting at the place of their own private oasis (a room above the shop of an elderly man named Mr. Charrington) when he notices that Julia has little interest in listening to him pondering over the mechanics of the centralized government being the Party. At one time, Winston reflects back to his work at the Ministry of truth, he tells her that he had once held the evidence in his hand that could have been used to prove of the Party 's premeditated alteration of history which could potentially have “planted a few doubts here and there” (Orwell 162), where Julia replies superficial tone, “I’m not interested in the next generation, dear. I’m interested in us” (Orwell 163). By saying this, she is giving off an impression that she doesn’t have her head completely committed in rebelling he Party, and that she doesn 't really care about anything other than the relationship that she and Winston have together. In addition, she claims that her acts are her own sort of way of rebelling, but it is very evident that Julia 's resistance to the Party only goes all the way up to rebelliousness of the sexual and pleasurable type. Not the intellectual; and assuredly not the rebellious type which aims to make a better society for the future just as Winston had hoped

You want it to happen to the other person and you [don’t] give a damn that they suffer, [for] all you care about is yourself” (Orwell 305). In essence she is explaining about the effort to preserve her own life, and that she used whatever means necessary. Her actions speak volumes about the lack of her emotional connection to anyone, even Winston. Fear of her own mortality far outweighed any feelings of attachment she shared with Winston, and that is the reason why Julia only wants what she think she needs. She was only together with Winston because of her sexual desires; she never was devoted to him
