Book 2 Chapter 2: The deed
In chapter two of book two Winston and the dark haired girl, who says her name is Julia, meet in the country where together they head out in to the woods. They share some chocolate and tell each other how they felt about each other. In the woods Julia tears off her Junior Anti-Sex League sash and they make love which he finds identical to the sexual encounter in which he had dreamed of. Julia had done this before in multiple occasions which to Winston is a form of relief, since this means that he is not the only person in the society committing thought crime. Winston compares to society as a whole when it comes to the idea his form of relief. Many people look at others faults to cover their own faults as a way of relief to make them feel better about their mistakes. In multiple occasions that can lead too further issues of much greater consequences. Sometimes one commits so many "mistakes" that they accumulate to the point where there is no way to hide them. In that case one is open for everyone to see all of your wrongs. Winston is committing all of these wrongs which keep adding up making him a greater thought criminal. If the party finds out of these thing Winston could cause issues not only for himself but for others who are involved. No matter how safe and how much you cover the wrong doings there is a point where someone has to know. Winston is little by little turning himself in to the thought police though all of the wrongs he is committing. The idea of doing something wrong makes one guilty and insecure as Winston is with all the cameras and microphones that the party has. Guilt and insecurities lead to mistakes and mistakes made are tracks left for the thought police to trace to come to the conclusion of who is doing wrong. Winston in this chapter is only sure that he is not the only one committing thought crime and that Julia is not a spy, but on the other hand he is insecure about how things could go by doing the things that he is doing. When someone feels comfortable with the wrongs that one is doing you tend to keep doing it; it is very likely for Winston to meet with Julia again or for this event to come back to haunt him. Winston and Julia see that having sex is the ultimate way to strike the party in their own way. The Party has such great control over everything, that Winston can think of nothing, not even sex, except whether it supports or harms the Party in any way.
