Smith adores the thought of Julia being rebellious and tells her that “the more men you’ve had, the more I love you.” Winston not only wants love of one person but the animal instinct as well. Anything that means he is against the inner party is good because it gave him adrenaline. This is relatable to real life today in relationships.
