1984

"I'm not interested in the next generation, dear. I'm interested in us" (156).

I think that Winston will start noticing the fundamental differences between Julia and him. Sleeping with Julia for is a political statement and for her it is a just rebellious act. Julia seems to take no take interest in Winston beliefs and worries for the world. She seem to only care about herself and no one else. This is also due to the generational gap between them. Julia being born into the party seems to do things like doublethink, paying attention details all the time, and believing what the history books says. So, she does not noticed that the party is sometimes wrong. Winston who had lived before the revolution and as a job rectifies the pass, knows that the party is not always right. Winston wants to leave hope for the new generation that feels oppressed that maybe things may change, if they take matters into their own hands.

Morsel- a small piece of something, especially of food.

Labyrinthine- extremely complicated and therefore difficult to understand.
