As Winston and Julia begins to conduct their usual act of love to each other with Julia gracefully and swift fully taking her clothes off. Winston uncharacteristically looks at Julia’s freckled face and asks “Have you done this before?. Julia proceeds to tell him that she has done this hundreds of times with many party members but not inner party. 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. Couples these days are mistakenly confusing loving someone with loving the feeling of making love. Even worse than that is people only dating for the feeling of sex and end up hurting their partner emotionally. The “animal instinct” mentioned in 1984 can be considered a feeling of unruly. Only using someone to feel good about yourself. It happens all the time in our society. Only having a relationship for sex is an unhealthy and sometimes abusive pairing for both parts of it.
