What are the differences between Julia and Winston in their understanding of the Party? Part 2

cares more
about having fun and enjoying her life (her little trists with all her man-friends) than she
cares about bringing down the Party.  If fact, Julia thinks 's ideas about rebellion and his
faith in the Proles is a silly waste of time.

Winston is obssessed with the
past (the paperweight,the old songs, books, pens, inventions) and the beauty of the way things
were before the Party took over and subjected everyone to their overly controlling rules and
laws.  The Proles, to Winston, are an excellent example of this.  They are free enough to sing
and enjoy life beyond the stifling control of the Party--it is with these people who can love,
sing, move around and speak with whomever they please that Winston puts his faith.  They are the
ones who will rebel and overthrow the Party.

They both rebel in their own way,
but they do not have the same ideas about how that should occur or what should happen once the
Party no longer exists.
