Yes,is
a rebel. Her reasons for rebelling, though, are less grandiose than 's. Winston wants to change
society through his rebellion, but Julia basically wants to break rules for the sake of breaking
rules since she hates the Party.
I like your premise for your essay. Is your
question going to be your attention getting statement or your thesis? I like it as the thesis,
but I would word it as two sided. "Although some readers see Julia as a pants down rebel,
in reality her rebellion runs much deeper than that." Something like that anyway. Get the
second half to really say what you want. You stated in your question that you already think she
is a rebel in other ways, so go with a statement that supports your thoughts.
As for how you see her as more of a rebel is up to you. There is no doubting that she
uses her sexuality to rebel. She claims to have had sex with multiple party members. But what
makes her sexual rebellion more than just sex is the fact that she wears the Party's red belt of
chastity. That's an outright lie which is a big no no for the Party and thought police. Another
way that she rebels against the Party is by faking her fervor during the two minutes of hate.
Basically what Julia is doing with that and the red belt is trying to take Party attention off
of her, so that she can continue her little rule breaking habits and her anti Party
thoughts.
