○ Chapter 1:  I Love You
                          ■ This chapter is called "I Love You" because of the note that Julia secretly give Winston
                              one day. Winston though that whatever was written in the paper would have some kind of
                              political meaning, and so, he thought there were two possibilities. The first one being that
                              the girl was an agent for the thought police and was delivering a message from them in
                              which it would be written a threat, or a summons, an order to commit suicide or some
                              other trap like that. The second possibility would oppose that, it would not come from the
                              thought police but some underground organization, some kind of "Brotherhood", and that
                              the girl was working for them. However, it turned out to be only a note saying "I Love
                              You" (pg. 136 ), this shows how the people can actually do things that are forbidden by
                              the government, that is, express their feelings and love.




                   ○ Chapter 2: Trouble in Paradise
                          ■ This chapter is called "Trouble in Paradise" because even though Winston and Julia meet
                              all the way in the countryside, they are still not any safer than if they were in london.
                              That is because there is the same vigilance, Thought Police patrols check your passport
                              and papers in the train station. Also, despite there not having telescreens, there are
                              microphones hidden in the trees, so Big Brother can hear you, just as much as they can in
                              London. They went there in the hopes of having a private relationship, that is, paradise,
                              which they had, but it was very troubled to get there. Also, not only was it hard to get
                              there, Winston had some troubled when Julia first kissed him. Winston, absolved with all
                              the Parties ideologies on pleasure, was quite embarrassed when he had no desire for Julia.
                              However, that was soon gone and they went on with their rebellious act of having a
                              loving relationship.




                   ○ Chapter 3: We Are The Dead
                          ■ This chapter is called "We Are the Dead" because of how Winston and Julia have
                              sentenced their death by having rebellious thoughts. Julia fails to understand that the
                              individual is always defeated. She knew that her fate was set, she would eventually be
                              caught by the thought police, but she believed that they were able to live in a world of
                              their own. Unlike Winston, she didn't understand that there is no happiness and the
                              moment one goes against the Party, it should be known that they will be a corpse, as said
                              by Winston. This is why Winston says that "we are the dead" (pg. 170), he knows that
                              they are going against the Party and that their death is inevitable. However, Julia, doesn't
                              think that, she says that "we're not dead yet" (pg. 171), so they might as well enjoy and
                              opposed the Party in their own ways until they are actually dead.
