What does this book say about people?
What are people really like? How do we define what people are? Well, we can’t really give a general answer to these questions. All people are different, so you can only get answers by studying person by person. Right now, we are going to focus on one specific person to find out what she is really like. George Orwell's novel 1984 characterizes Julia as a person who does things her own way, she is different from Winston in physical and mental ways, her major interests are getting away with things that Big Brother disapproves of, and she is willing to rebel because she loves Winston. Julia is a complex individual and this paper will break down certain aspects of her being to help get into her mind.
George Orwell characterizes Julia as a rebellious, free minded person. Her rebellious mind is not the same as Winston’s however. Julia is more about enjoying and making the best of her life and making plans to avoid being caught by the thought police. She doesn’t really have a huge dream. Winston tells her “You’re only a rebel from the waist downwards, he told her. She thought this brilliantly witty and flung her arms around him in delight” (Orwell, 156).
Julia and Winston’s physical appearances show a very obvious difference. Winston is a quiet man at his late thirties, he is very unhealthy or in poor physical condition, whereas Julia is young, energetic and fresh. The only thing they really have in common is their hatred of Big Brother and the sexual desires.
Julia’s major concerns or interests are getting away with whatever she can, and having sex. Julia loves to do anything that Big Brother would disapprove of and get away with it. She gets a real thrill from beating Big Brother. One way to really enjoy herself while sticking it to the man is having sex with many of the party members. She has no intention of ending her pleasure by being caught by the though police.
Julia is willing to rebel against the party because she loves Winston. Her rebellious ideas are not as big as Winston’s but she is willing to go along with his because of their love. She is also willing to rebel because she too has a hatred for Big Brother. She will do whatever she can to go against the party and this is just another chance to do it.
In conclusion, George Orwell characterizes Julia as a rebellious, free minded person. She is very different from Winston but she is willing to rebel with him against the party because she loves him. Her major interests are going against the party as much as possible. George Orwell did a tremendous job on the creation of the character Julia. She is a very likable character in my opinion and she really fits well into the story.
