Victor’s Question:

5. What was the major conflict between Winston Smith and his wife, Katherine, which caused them to separate?

The major conflict between Winston Smith and his wife, Katherine, was that the Party they have both been put in, had a duty to be a part of the Party. And the duty, to be part of the Party, was that a married couple needs to produce a baby within the marriage. During many years of the marriage, between the both married couples, they have tried to produce a baby within their marriage, but at the end the results, was that how hard they to have a baby was not realistic in their relationship. When they needed to report back to the Party, that they have done their best to have a baby. So then they were peacefully parted, because they have done their best to finish their duty.

Riya- Why do Winston and Julia risk going to O'Brien's house together?

Winston Smith and Julia decided to risk going O’Brien’s house because O’Brien invited him to his apartment. This was very significant because inviting someone, couldn’t have been done. This caused him to believe that O’Brien had rebellious intentions to the government, just like them. To add to this, Smith initially believed that O’Brien was similar to himself in a way.
