1984 pg. 218- 239 "But that was merely an intellectual decision, taken because he knew that he ought to take it. He did not feel it" (238)

I chose this quote because I think it shows how Winston truly feels about Julia. The fact that deep down Winston would not want to save Julia says to me that he does not love Julia like he says he does. I find it strange that although Winston has acted for so long that he was in love with Julia, he would not stick up for her in such a difficult situation if he had the chance. I had though Winston was an honorable person, but I do not knoe what to think of him now.

perturbed- to disturb greatly

sanctimonious- making a hypocritical show of religious devotion
