Chapter Summaries & Analyses
At work a few days later, the dark-haired girl intentionally bumps into Winston and hands him a note. He expects the note to be an indication of his impending death, but instead it reads, “I love you” (136). It proves difficult to interact with the girl without drawing attention from Party loyalists and telescreens, but Winston eventually sets up a rendezvous with her in a crowded location where they can talk without being overheard by telescreens. They attend a crowded parade as the Party celebrates the capture of enemy war prisoners, and the girl gives Winston instructions to meet her again in the countryside.
Winston meets the dark-haired girl in the country as planned. He is somewhat concerned about being discovered, but the girl assures him they are safe from telescreens and Party microphones in the woods. They kiss, and their first attempt at making love is a disappointment. Winston is glad to rebel against the Party, but he has difficulty reigniting physical desire (151). The girl brushes off the sexual failure and tells him her name: Julia. She confirms that her attraction to Winston was based on his face: “I’m good at spotting people who don’t belong.
