1984 - PT.2 CH 2

"Any kind of organized revolt against the Party, which was bound to be a failure, struck her [Julia] as stupid" (131).

Through most of the text, Julia is described as a girl who really despises the Party and takes pride in breaking their rules. However, she does keep in mind that she can't overpower them. She is not living in a fantasy where she believes that if she can get away with love affairs then she can take control from the Party. That is why she views any revolts against the Party as ridiculous and unsuccessful. She realizes that there is no winning when it comes to challenging the Party but she consciously breaks the rules (and puts her life on the line) to have that great feeling of rebellion.
