One day, at the Minitrue, as Winston assisted a woman who had fallen, she
surreptitiously handed him a folded paper note; later, at his desk he
covertly reads the message: I LOVE YOU. The name of the woman is "Julia", a
young brunette mechanic who repairs the Minitrue novel-writing machines.
Before that occasion, Winston had loathed the sight of her, presuming she
was a member of the fanatical Junior Anti-Sex League, because she wore the
red sash of the League, and because she was the type of woman he believed
he could not attract: young, beautiful, and puritanical; nonetheless, his
hostility towards her vanishes upon reading the message. Cautiously,
Winston and Julia begin a love affair, at first meeting in the country, at
a clearing in the woods, then at the belfry of a ruined church, and
afterwards in a rented room atop an antiques shop in a proletarian
neighbourhood of London. There, they think themselves safe and unobserved,
because the rented bedroom has no telescreen, but, unknown to Winston and
Julia, the Thought Police were aware of their love affair.

Later, when the Inner Party member O'Brien approaches him, Winston
believes he is an agent of the Brotherhood, a secret, counter-revolutionary
organisation meant to destroy The Party. The approach opened a secret
communication between them; and, on pretext of giving him a copy of the
latest edition of the Dictionary of Newspeak, O'Brien gives Winston The
Book, The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel
Goldstein, the infamous and publicly reviled leader of the Brotherhood. The
Book explains the concept of perpetual war, the true meanings of the
slogans WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, and
how the régime of The Party can be overthrown by means of the political
awareness of the Proles.
