1984 Book 2, Chapter 2

• Why is Winston ill at ease once he is alone with Julia? He couldn't quite work up the courage to approach her, or get closer to her. He was worried that they may not be safe from observation in the clearing.
  
• What does Julia bring with her that she has obtained on the black market? Chocolate, real chocolate.
  
• What are Julia’s ideas about the Party? She hates them, especially the inner party. It seems to be a violent hatred, because she can't keep from swearing when she talks about them. She thinks they are all pigs.
  
• What familiar sign does Winston find? It was an old, close-bitten pasture, with a footpath and molehills. He sees it and is shocked, because it is almost exactly as he viewed Golden Country in his mind.
  
• What is the significance of the thrush music? It is a symbol of rebellion. It is natural music, something that is an animal instinct and something that happens on its own. It is a stark contrast to the music in Winston's world, especially of the proles, because that is computer generated and unnatural.
  
• What does Winston mean when he says that he loves Julia all the more because she has had scores of sexual encounters? He says it because her having sex with a bunch of people is a rebellion against Big Brother, and against everything the party stands for. This is especially true because the men she has sex with are party members. It is corrupt, dirty, and viewed as wrong in this society. That's why Winston loves it so much.
