In 1984, Julia is a complex character who contrasts sharply with Winston. While Winston is deeply committed to understanding and rebelling against the Party’s ideology, Julia is more pragmatic. She skillfully presents an outward appearance of orthodoxy while having little genuine understanding of it. This allows her to navigate the Party’s oppressive system by focusing on personal freedoms and small acts of rebellion. Ultimately, Julia represents a more practical, survivalist approach to resistance, highlighting the different ways people cope with totalitarian control.
