Julia seems to be a very insightful person who has many philosophies.
All Julia seems to talk about though is he sexuality. Sex is her tool
to beat Big Brother, and to manipulate the system of the Inner Party.
As Winston says "everything came back to her own sexuality." She also
seemed to grasp the inner meaning of the Party's sexual puritanism,
though Winston has not been able to do that. So, Julia's philosophies
about the Party's sexual puritanism is what you have sex you use up
energy. She says after you have sex you feel happy and do not care
about anything else. The Party does not want you to feel like that.
She says the Party wants you to be bursting with enery all the time.
That energy can go to things like marching and cheering and waving
flags. She says that is simply sex gone sour. Julia thinks if you are
happy inside, why would you be excited because of Big Brother, the
Three-Year Plans, Two Minuets Hate, and "all the rest of their bloody
rot."

Beat the system safely and you will be fine. Julia is a rebel and she
will do everything in her power to disobey Big Brother and everything
Oceania stands for. She disguises herself by trying to appear as one
of the perfect, innocent people of Oceania. She does not believe
anything that Big Brother tells the community and therefore just
rebels against all the laws and rules. Julia believes sex is something
that should be cherished and not hidden from pleasure. The only way
Big Brother is where he is today is by banishing sex and the feeling
of sexual desires. According to Julia, sex makes you happy and
afterward you are happy and do not have the energy to riot or yell
about anything else because you are satisfied, but Big Brothers plan
is to banish that feeling so that people do have the energy to yell
during Two Minutes Hate and riot about prisoners. Julia does not
agree with any of it but falls along in line in order to not be
noticed.

Julia's philosophy is that "the sex instinct created a word of its own
which was outside of the party's control and which therefore had to be
destroyed if possible." She thinks that the party does not want you
to be happy, they can not stand it and since sex makes you happy, they
forbid it. She also says that sex uses up a lot of your energy, making
you not want to do anything else. The party wants you to be "bursting
with energy all the time", hence their dislike of sex. In chapter two,
it goes on to say that it is not only sex that is affected, but also
parenthood. "The children, on the other hand, were systematically
turned against their parents and taught to spy on them and report
their deviations." Big Brother has complete domination.

Julia has a very weird way of thinking! She uses her sexuality in an
manipulative way in my eyes. We learned in chapter three that she
actually does nothing to defy the party besides have a relationship
with Winston. Julia seems to actually like the party in weird way she
conforms to whatever they say but then again seems to act like she is
rebeling when she is with Winston! She thinks everything is normal
and that life has always been this way because that is all that she
has ever known. Like when Winston had said that the war was changing
and had changed before but was just erased form history she had no
recollection of it and just blew it off in a way and said that it
didn't matter!
Obviously Julia's philosophy is to beat the party without being caught
but it now seems that there is no other motive behind it she mearly
likes to defy the party with no real motive or care behind it.

Julia is a kind of rebel because she is against Big Brother and all
the things that Big Brother says.She worked to Junior Anti-Sex League.
She likes Winston because she thinks he is against the Big Brother
too.
Julia thinks that all the things that Big Brother says is lie.She
hates purity,goodness, and she says that she wants that everyone to be
corrupt to the bones.

Julia is more concerned with enjoying sex and making practical plans
to avoid getting caught by the Party. Winston essentially sees their
affair as temporary; his fatalistic attitude makes him unable to
imagine his relationship with Julia lasting very long. Julia, on the
other hand, is well adapted to her chosen forms of small-scale
rebellion. She claims to have had affairs with various Party members,
and has no intention of terminating her pleasure seeking, or of being
caught. Julia is a striking contrast with Winston: apart from their
mutual sexual desire and hatred of the Party, most of their traits are
dissimilar, if not contradictory.Julia is Winston's lover and the only
other person who Winston can be sure hates the Party and wishes to
rebel against it as he does. also she lives in the moment and make the
best of her life. I
