He has longed for a relationship where he is free to love without the purpose of procreation. Even more important to him, however, is that his actions weaken the Party. When Julia, his girlfriend, tells him that he has done this Hundreds of times -well, scores of times, Winston is not upset instead, he is thrilled because that means there were many others who are corrupt to the bones and were also rebelling against the Party (Orwell 112).
