Character analysis

An initial brainstorm on the character . 

I have decided to interpret Julia , I believe the changes in her character throughout the book captures the audience. There are a lot of areas in the book, where I would like to visually interpreted Julia . I would like to capture her emotions , how she is able to transform someone from hating her to being in total love with her. Julia manages to get Winston to fall so deeply in love with her , that there is a feeling that this is not the first time she has been able to control a man . This also develops a new control over Winston , not only is he being watched by Big Brother,  he now has Julia who is the controls all there meetings . Julia is the person who decides where they meet, if they meet and for how long, even to the point of giving Winston instructions of how to get to a meeting point and how to exit one.

What era does my character live ? 

The book was written in 1948/9 about how George Orwell visioned the future .

What does environment look like ?

Set in Oceania , London . The city is being constantly bombed so there is smoke and dust in the air . The housing near the bombings are described as 'chicken huts'

Everything is grey with the only colour used in the posters of Big Brother . 

Clocks are read using digital description (e.g fourteen hundred hours) 

The 3 of the Ministry buildings are tall and glass windows  , the ministry of love is all concrete ( no windows) and has security around the building, no one is allowed near the building for 1/2 km , there is barbed wire protecting the building. 

the electric is cut off at certain times of the day so the environment is using just natural lighting . 

Telescreen watch every movement and are grey with mirrors in them . 

Helicopters hover around the city like flys watching into people's window to ensure that the society is kept in check . 

Description of Julia

Works in the Ministry of Truth , in the Fiction department . 

lives in a hostel with women.  

Seen walking round the Ministry with oily hands , carrying a spanner . 

Thick dark hair , Freckled face, bold appearance, athletic movements, red lips , dark eyes and lashes . Rouge on cheeks 

A narrow red sash for the Junior Anti - Sex league - which is wound round her waist this emphasises her hips . 

Julia is first thought to be clean minded  and has a dangerous stare that fills Winston with Black Terror . However through out the book Julia shows how deceptive she is, She is does knows when to smile and act correctly in front of the camera's . Julia knows how to get chocolate off the black market , has had sex with other Party members and already knows places without camera's or microphones . 

Biggest Goal

To break the rules of the party without getting caught , and to be able to seduce men for her own pleasure.

Props that relate to character

How do these props develop my character 

The red sash is taken off by Julia when she has sex with Winston , how this red sash also brings out her feminine hips .
