Book 1 Chapter 7-8
"Four, five, six-seven times they met during the month of June. Winston had dropped his habit of drinking gin at all hours. He seemed to have lost the need for it. He had grown fatter, his varicose ulcer has subsided, leaving only a brown stain on the skin of his ankle, his fits of coughing in the early morning has stopped" (124).
This quote shows how Winston and Julia were smart enough to set up meetings without anybody knowing. It is crazy how they were able to meet so many times in one month since they are being watched 24/7. This gives me hope that since they are this smart, they would be able to start a rebellion of some sort against Big Brother. Another thing that this quote shows is that the Winston is falling in love for Julia. Seeing her so often causes him to not need to drink gin anymore because he loves her, and they are both happy together. We can see that Winston was going through a tough time since he was not being so healthy. However, falling in love was good for him because he started taking care of himself more.
