The Clearing

[duhpanda123]

In the book 1984 Winston is led to a clearing in the woods. This place is supposedly a safe place yet how did Big Brother miss a whole section. Either Julia is a spy or just plane out lucky to find such a space. Whether or not she seems to despise the party.

Hello duhpanda123,

I think the clearing was used to emphasize the feelings which Winston experienced and which actually were the source of everything crucial in his life. As George Orwell put it: a creature of indoors, with the sooty dust of London in the pores of his skin. And presently, it dawns upon Winston that Julia is seeing him in such a purity for the first time.
