Affair

[Z1t1]

Does Winston realize that Julia only cares about the affair and not their emotions? Or is he oblivious?

I think that Winston is so absorbed in the thought that Julia isn't with Big Brother and that she has her own feelings that he doesn't see her for what she truly is, a selfish girl who doesn't care what happens as long as life works out for her. In my opinion, he doesn't even truly love her, but loves the idea of being in love and the feeling something that he has never felt before with someone. He loves the risk and knowing that he is not alone, but he slowly realizes that Julia doesn't care about taking down Big Brother.
