Winston's love and rebellion affair. (Book post#2)

My group-mates and i just finished reading the second part of 1984 written by George Orwell. The second part was mainly about Winston’s love for Julia and the book of Goldstein. In the discuss that we had at Friday afternoon during English class, was Julia’s multiple sex partners and her love for Winston. While reading the second part of the book, i came across the area where it explains he job and her multiple partners with men within the Party member and the Inner Party.
“She had had her first love affair when she she was sixteen, with a party member of sixty who later committed suicide to avoid arrest... Since then there had been various others. Life as she saw it was quite simple... the Party, wanted to stop you [her] having it;you [she] broke the rules as best you could,”(Orwell131).
And there i had a question, is Julia truly in love with Winston or is he another sex partner like the others? And there my group discussed this topic. My group said that it could be either way or both. Since there are no relevant evidence, we ended in a conclusion that it could be both. It just shows that love can be a way to cover up for a problem or it could be true and passionate love.
So far the reading of the book as been great. With Winston’s adventure and his rebellion against government and Big Brother just added the suspend to it. In part two there was not a lot of things that was happening, but just explain about the love affair he has with Julia and the book called The Theory And Practice Of Oligrachical Collectivism written by Emmanuel Goldstein. I like the fact that Julia is fighting for her rights again. Ever since Big Brother, the Ministries, and the Party members came the people has lost their individuality because the government forced all the people of London to wear the same designed overalls. The government did this because they wanted to stop the creative thinking of the people and made it illegal to think creatively. And so the government did their work for illegalizing the creative thinking of the people and to show passion for others.
