In the book of 1984 the greatest affair is between Winston and Julia. Many people claim that between Julia and Winston there is a relationship based on love because of how many times they claimed their love and the risk they shared to see each other. The reality is that their so called "love" is based on their idea of going against the government. Winston and Julia's relationship is based on the single purpose of going against the party. This is seen in book 2 chapter 2 in the following text:
'Have you done this before?'
'Of course. Hundreds of times -- well scores of times anyway.'
'With Party members.'
'Yes, always with Party members.'
'With members of the Inner Party?'
'Not with those swine, no. But there's plenty that would if they got half a chance. They're not so holy as they make out.'
'His heart leapt. Scores of times she had done it'
The latter shoes Winston's "love" for Julia is based on how many affairs she has had and how corrupt she is. The more men she has slept with, the more corrupt people exist that go against the party. That makes Winston happy knowing that he is not the only one who disagrees and goes against the party. Along with Winston's perspective, Julia explained to Winston that the reason why she gave him the letter was because she saw the difference in his face that gave away he was against the party and she loved that. Their affair depended on how far they could get away with going against the party. They wanted to corrupt as many people possible, not worrying about the consequences. All that led to the corruption of the people was good and made their "love" grow greater.
