the glass paperweight

Winston buys a paperweight in an antique store in the prole district that comes to symbolize his attempt to reconnect with the past. Symbolically, when the Thought Police arrest Winston at last, the paperweight shatters on the floor. A beautiful antique that Winston finds in the junk-shop--a heavy lump of glass, curved on one side and flat on the other, almost like half a sphere. The color and texture of the glass has a softness, like rainwater, and in the center is a piece of pink coral. Winston buys it because of its beauty, but it is a strange thing for a Party member to buy and it would be difficult for him to explain if anyone knew that he had it. It seems to him as if the surface of the glass is like the sky, and inside is a tiny world where Julia's life and his own are fixed, like the coral, in a kind of eternity.

Julia

Winston scolds Julia for being a rebel from the waist down, works in the fiction department and lives in a hostel, Winston's concern for Julia a "curious emotion" because citizens did not normally feel empathy or sympathy for their peers. Winston thought Julia as "the enemy" so his concern was doubly hard to understand. Winston trusts Julia because he saw that she was "frightened out of her wits" when she handed him the note. Winston finally receive directions to a meeting place from Julia when They stood together in a large crowd watching a procession of Eurasian prisoners. They had to look straight ahead and talk without moving their lips. Winston admits his age, his wife, his varicose veins, and his false teeth because he wants to know that Julia loves his true self, with nothing hidden. Julia different from the orthodox Party member Winston had thought she was She loves the excitement of getting away with something, enjoys sex, uses foul language, and seems to have found a way of being fairly happy by appearing to be a model citizen. She is much more daring than Winston.
