In 1984by George Orwell, when Winston helps the girl with dark hair up, we are told that there is a "frightened" look in her eyes. What do we later...

Whenhelps the dark-haired woman up after she falls directly on her injured arm, he
notices that there is an "appealing expression that looked more like fear than pain"
on her face. In the brief moment when Winston is helping her up, the dark-haired woman slips him
a note. Later on, Winston reads the note that says, "I LOVE YOU" on it (, 136). The
woman who fell and slipped Winston the note is named , and Winston previously believed that she
was a member of the Thought Police sent to spy on him.

That night, Winston
thinks about the event and recalls the frightened look on Julia's face when she discreetly
handed him the note. Julia gave Winston a frightened look because she was engaging in a
life-threatening act of rebellion by secretly telling a fellow Party member that she loved him.
Julia knew that she risked spending a lifetime in a concentration camp, being tortured in the
Ministry of Love, or being publicly executed, which explains the frightened look on her
face...
