Apparently Winston's not the only person not-so-fond of Big Brother. The dark haired girl, Julia, is against Big Brother and all his interferences into their lives. The ironic part is that she appears as the ideal worker for B.B., but in reality she goes to many lengths to try bring privacy into her life. This results in her easily able to meet Winston in a place where no one is watching. In a place where no one can catch them and report them to authority.
I have a feeling this affair might lead to bad things for Winston and Julia. B.B. is way too involved in the lives of the citizens for them to have access to privacy.
Another event that took place in the book was Winston going out to the suburbs to buy random antiques from a store ,and more importantly, to strengthen past's memories. This is considered important because through B.B.'s propaganda, the memories of the people are deliberately being weakened. This is bad because it's already the government is changing the past... at one point, the past could totally disappear, and this is exactly what Winston doesn't want to happen.
