To understand
whyrebels against the Party, take a look at Part Two, Chapter Two, when she meets within the
woods. Despite being a member of the Junior Anti-Sex League, Julia claims to have slept with
many Party members, including those in the Inner Party. For Julia, therefore, her rebellion is
driven by a need to express herself sexually and to satisfy her own sexual desires. She does not
want to be constricted by the Party's repressive moral code: she wants the freedom to be with
whomever she chooses.
In addition, Julia rebels because she wants to have a
"good time," as she explains to Winston in the next chapter. She hates the numerous
rules imposed on people by the Party because they are designed to prevent a general enjoyment of
life. In contrast to Winston's, Julia's rebellion is not based on Party doctrine or the
intellectual dimensions of control; she simply wants the freedom to live as she
chooses.
