In the fourth
chapter of the third book,has a hallucination about . He has this moment after he had been
daydreaming about the Golden Country. In fact, the hallucination is so strong that he shouts
Julia's name out several times. Look directly at 's words:
She had seemed to be not merely with him, but inside him. It was as though she had got
into the texture of his skin. In that moment he had loved her far more than he had ever done
when they were together and free.
This recollection of
Julia makes him feel like he had committed a crime against the Party. He knew the act was
morally wrong according to their expectations of acceptable behavior. The facts that he uttered
her name out loud, and had such a human and emotional experience deeply convicted him. He feared
this scream would result in execution, and listened for footsteps of the Thought Police to come
and get him.
