andgot involved
in an affair, an act which the Party prohibited. The Party ideals advocated for hatred and
banned promiscuity among its members. This means that they were doing something wrong and if
caught they would be eliminated. They therefore sought to keep their involvement clandestine and
Winston rented a room on top of a junk shop owned by Mr. Charrington, the individual who had
previously sold him a diary. The two continue to meet in this room where they discussed very
serious matters including their intention to join the Brotherhood, an outlaw group led by
Goldstein, enemy of the people. They later met OBrien who recruited them into the Brotherhood.
However, during one of their secret meetings in the rented room, Julia and Winston were
arrested. They were betrayed by Mr. Charrington who was actually an undercover member of the
Thought Police and OBrien who was a devoted Inner Party member. Ironically, following their
arrest, Winston was tortured by OBrien himself in a bid to cure him. During an unplanned meeting
between Julia and Winston they both admit to having given in and betrayed their
love.
