'Oh, you've got it? Good,' she said without much interest and almost immediately knelt down beside the oilstove to make the coffee," (200).
The differences between Winston and Julia become the most apparent when he receives Goldstein's novel. Upon receiving the book Winston is excited and craving to know about the past and what he can do to change the future. Julia shows significant disinterest. She seems to care less about the past and future, but more about her present life and happiness. Winston wants to know why things are the way that they are. He seeks knowledge and understanding. Julia just wants to be content with her life and obtain personal pleasure. She seems to give no thought as to why things are the way that they are. She just accepts it and tries to find other ways to compensate for drawbacks to the Party's complete control.
