PART 2

In the second portion of George Orwell's novel, "1984", Winston begins to fulfill his rebellious fantasies towards Big Brother. He begins to see the dark-haired beauty, Julia on a regular basis, meeting above Mr. Charrington's shop. The affair begins with a note from Julia simply stating, "I love you" and from there their romance begins. Him and Julia both believe the same ideals of independence and as his relationship with Julia begins to move forward, so does his relationship with his coworker, O'Brian. O'Brian invites him to his flat for the newest edition of Newspeak; this is where Winston and Julia learn of the secret brotherhood that O'Brian is a part of and as hey both join, they begin to learn all about the mysterious Goldstein and the secret world that Big Brother has not discovered yet. Throughout this portion Winston's relationships are really forming. Before, Winston was simply a man sitting in his flat scheming and obsessing about thoughts of rebellion from conformity. In modern day times we call those types of people mental. But once Winston unties with Julia and O'Brian, his entire world changes from being some guy who was a bit mad to a real threat to society. It is not people alone who change the world and shake it to its very core, but the relationships people form in the process of changing the world. To succeed at something you must create a basis of people on which you can rely and trust and that is exactly what Winston is experiencing. The relationships he is forming during this portion of the book make him into something viable towards the government and nothing is more threatening to a totalitarian dictatorship than a group of free-thinkers.
