Julia vs. Winston in 1984 by George Orwell
The Modern Period of British literature was often written about one person trying to find comfort and satisfaction in a world that has lost its values and traditions. Writers of this time would often show the characters dealing with societal struggles and their ways of overcoming them. George Orwell is one author of this era who shows characters facing and dealing with a society that no longer has values. Orwell’s 1984 is set in a totalitarian society where everyone and everything is watched by Big Brother. People work to cover up the lies of the Party to make Big Brother look better even though they secretly hate it. The two lovers, Winston and Julia, represent the two contrasting ways to resent the oppressing society they live in, but still have a common goal. Winston acts and thinks rebelliously in a much more ideological manner while Julia enjoys personal rebellious acts to keep her satisfied.
