1. Do you think that since both Winston and Julia work for the party, that makes it less likely that they will be caught or punished for being together?

2. Is O'Brien and the brotherhood going to be the downfall of the party? Will Winston successfully get them to work with him to get the proles to realize that they're oppressed so heavily?

3. Is Julia as willing to put her life in jeopardy to bring down the party as Winston is? Is she going to hold Winston back from his goal of bringing down Big Brother?

4. Did Winston convince Julia to help him bring down the party when he scolded her for only being rebellious through sex? Did his scolding in turn hurt their relationship, or did it help Julia become more loyal?

5. Is Winston and Julia's inability to leave the apartment above the shop going to lead the authorities to them and ultimately lead to their demise? Are their priorities clouded by sex?
