Julia and Winston, The Best relationship ever?

The relationship between Winston and Julia is one for the ages. If these two weren’t together in ‘1984’ and were together in the real world, everyone would wonder, “What do they actually have in common?” That is the real question here because they are almost polar opposites. Winston wants to down-right rebel against the Party, all Julia wants to do is stick it to the man, in the simplest of terms, and have as much fun as she can. The only conceivable thing that they have in common is that they both are different, and that they both want something more out of the dark, dirty, and passionless world of theirs. But looking at the circumstances, their relationship is rock-solid seeing as all it takes for Winston to change his mind from thinking, “I want to kill her” to, “How can I meet her again?” So when looking at their differences, they truly don’t matter seeing as Winston got what he wanted, a way to rebel, and Julia gets to have some fun out of this entire thing.

A pretty valid point you're making. But I still just can't get my mind about why she would seek Winston out from all the other guys that are different from the Party. But you know we can't explain everything. I definitely get what you are saying about why they stay together though.
