Forbidden Love 1984 #5 & #6

My predictions were correct!! I knew there was something sly about this young woman. However, I did not predict that Winston and her were going to have a  sex driven love affair. Julia seems to be a paradox. On the outside, she appears to be one of the most dedicated party members. She volunteers, sports the chastity sash and marches in all the parades on the front lines, holding banners. However, when she isn't in the eyes of a telescreen, she turns into this sex goddess who completely despises everything the party stands for. Even though she hates the party, she thinks that any plans of a revolution would be unwise and unreachable. That's what I find most interesting, such a rebellious, smart, young lady believes that revolution is impossible. The only way to act out is private and without any watching eyes. By having these love affairs together, Winston believes they are signing their death certificates. Yet Julia finds excitement in her small rebellious acts against the party.
