1984 Part II- Chapters 3 and 4

Chapter 3
This was a pretty slow chapter about their dates and whatnot but there was a line very late in the chapter that caught my attention. Winston said "life and death are the same thing" and Julia was up in arms about this. Depending on the prompt I think this scene could be useful in an essay.
Chapter 4
It's interesting that makeup, even back when this book was written goes hand in hand with looking feminine. Winston has nothing physically desirable about him and I wonder why Orwell made his main character that way. Usually a hero has a flaw but is on the whole a golden boy. Winston however is gross looking, old and scared of bugs. I wonder how this character development will affect the story.
