So, What Was Julia's.....?


.....greatest fear/ worst horror for her "Room 101"? We know that Winston's was rats. What was her breaking point that caused her to say "Do it to Winston, not me"?

This subject may have been brought up before, but neither the book or movie gives any clues to what it might have been.

Any theorys?

Bump!

We don't actually get to find out.

We do know she ended up with a scar on her head. Perhaps indicative of electric shock treatment or some or other cruelty.

We know she put on some weight. Take from that what you may.

I also spoke to someone who was convinced she was actually a plant all along. It was a decent argument put fourth about why they believed this, I never actually bought it, but I enjoyed turning it over in my mind. If you are interested I could try and dig it out. not sure if I can, but I could try.

That's been a long running theory about Julia being a plant. I've never really bought it myself. I imagine Orwell deliberately left that question up in the air on purpose.

I didn't think there was enough substantial evidence to support the theory personally.

Conspiracy twaddle, of course she’s not a plant, she gets captured and tortured just like him, and they’re both Big Brother loving zombies by the end.
