      Sex in 1984 
        ' Unlike Winston, she [Julia] had grasped the inner meaning of the Party's sexual puritanism. It was not merely that the sex instinct created a world of its own which was outside the Party's control and which therefore had to be destroyed if possible. What was more important was that sexual privation induced hysteria, which was desirable because it could be transformed into war-fever and leader worship. The way she put it was: 
        'When you make love you're using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don't give a damn for anything. They can't bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simply sex gone sour.'

        The room is a place where Winston and Julia are able to create a space for themselves away from the everyday life of the party and Big Brother
        It is typified by the inclusion of early twentieth century items which enables Winston and Julia to try and create a life for themselves before Big Brother emerged, removing them from the pressures of the party and creating an idealised and unattainable relationship
        1. Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting this setting with the previous description in Part 1 Chapter 1 of Winston's flat.

        1. the class of wage earners, especially those who earn their living by manual labour or who are dependent for support on daily or casual employment; the working class.
        2. (in Marxist theory) the class of workers, especially industrial wage earners, who do not possess capital or property and must sell their labor to survive.

        Look at the quote your group has been given 
        What does the quotation tell us about…

        1. Winston’s beliefs about the proles

        2. The conditions the proles live in

        3. The role the proles could play in this novel

        Slide 15 - Slide

        What is the significance of this description of the prole…
        What is Orwell's intention; what is the purpose? 
        • The proles are anonymous and have a timeless quality that members of the party do not, implying longevity for the proles. Foreshadows the limited time that Winston has with Julia. 
        • This description implies that the proles embody human feeling and a more 'natural' way of life that Winston and Julia can only try to recreate and are denied by The Party and the system. 
        • However, the proles as a whole are a passive force, without the desire to rebel and actually believe in The Party’s propaganda as much as Winston and Julia are meant to. 
        • The proles appear to have a familial support network. This is something The Party members do not have. This makes The Party members vulnerable and isolated.

        'The proles, normally apathetic about the war, were being lashed into one of their periodical frenzies of patriotism.'
