How has Winston changed since being with julia?

Beforemet , he was a completely miserable,
depressed man, who was a secret political dissident and would only express his negative feelings
towards Big Brother and the Party in his private journal. Initially, Winston Smith believes that
Julia is a possible agent of the Thought Police and an orthodox member of the Junior Anti-Sex
League. However, Julia ends up slipping him a meaningful note and the two meet up in the
countryside. After consummating, Winston begins to feel more confident about exercising his
individuality and challenging the oppressive authoritarian regime. Winston's relationship with
Julia begins to grow and he no longer feels depressed or fed up with life. Julia allows Winston
to experience a certain level of autonomy and independence, which he has never felt before. His
sexual urges are also satisfied and her presence eases his mind. After meeting Julia, Winston
seems healthier, spiritually renewed, and more comfortable in his own
skin.
