The Diary
The main Character, Winston Smith, notices a spot in the living room where the telescreen's field of view did not reach. It is here he starts writing in a diary he had picked up at a junk shop. -
The Two Minute Hate
During the two minute hate, Winston achieves eye contact with O'Brien. Winston believes O'Brien thinks the same way as him, and that they are on the same side, based on the small eye contact they shared. It was this thathad led him to go home and start writing in the diary. He also notices a dark haired girl whom he believe he hates. -
The Dream
Winston was dreaming of his mother and his sister and reminisced on how their lives had been sacrifised to his own. He then proceeds to dream about a palce he reffers to as "the Glden Country". Here he is met by the girl with dark hair whic he had seen during the two minute hate. She tore her cclothes off and seemed to invite Winston, but it aroused no desire in him. -
The Pub
Winston wanders along the streets of London and ends up at a Pub. Here he meets a rather old fellow and Winston tries to ask questions about whether life was better before or after the party had taken over. The old man however did not seem to understand the questions and always got hung up about small details. Winston realizes that there is no hope in continuing and starts to think that he will never get the answer to the question. -
The Junk Shop
Across the Pub lies the junk shop where Winston bought the diary. Despite his instincts he goes in and gets to know the owner of the shop, Mr. Charrington. During their conversation Mr. Charrington tells Winston that he has a small room above the shop which he could rent out should Winston ever want it. There are not any telescreens there either. -
Outside the Junk Shop
After leaving the junk shop, Winston notices that the dark-haired girl is walking down the street he is in. He believes this to be too much of a coincidense as there would be no reason for a party member to walk down this street this late at night. He then thinks that she is a member of the thought police and immediately freezes as he now believes he is a dead man walking. -
The note
While at work, Winston sees the dark-haired girl trip and fall in the hallway. Out of instincts he goes over to help her up despite thinking she was after him. He helps her up and she slips a small piece of paper in his hand. "I love you" it says on the note, and Winston no longer believes she is after him and he tries to get in contact with the girl without attracting any suspicion. -
The First "Date"
After they succesfully managed to talk together without anyone noticing, they planned to meet up somewhere they could be safe. The girl gave Winston spesific directions to follow and they met up at the planned spot. They talked and ended up sleeping together, somewhat as a way of srinking a blow against the party. Winston finally learned the girl's name, Julia. -
The Meeting
Winston and Julia head over to O'Brien where they learn that he is part of the oranization "the Brotherhood" whose goal is to end the totalitarian reign of the party. They also pledge themselves to the Brotherhood and are prompted to leave in order not to raise any unnecessary attention. -
The Last "Date"

Julia and Winston are in the room above the junk shop. Winston says that they are "the dead", something that Julia echoes. Suddenly they hear a voice from the other side of a painting confirming that they are in fact "the dead". They are informed that the house is surrounded and they realize that they have been caught. Mr. Charrington comes in and reveals himself to be a member of the thought police. -
The Cell
Winston is brought to a bright, bare cell in which the lights are always lit. There are plenty of prisoners there aswell. Some are brought in and some are brought out during Winston's time there.
