Why is Winston ill at ease once he is alone with Julia?
Winston is out of his element; the only interaction he really knows is during lunch at work. He doesn't know how to connect with other people. He is unsure of what to do, and doesn't know what Julia thinks about him or if she will continue to "love" him. He is also wary of being spied on.
What does Julia bring with her that she has obtained on the black market?
Chocolate that isn't all gross and crumbly.
What are Julia’s ideas about the Party?
She grew up in this kind of society so she can't remember what the world was like before the Revolution. Her expectations of rebellion are not as high as Winston's, but she does hate the Party. She is content with her simple instances of rebellion, while Winston wants to break down the entire Party system.
What familiar sign does Winston find?
Winston recognizes the pasture area as the Golden Country.
What is the significance of the thrush music?
The thrush and it's song symbolizes nature, all that the Party does not stand for. The thrush represents what is outside of the unnatural, mechanical world, with its machine-made music, that the Party has created. The fact that Winston and Julia can appreciate the music of the thrush show that they are mentally outside if the Party.
What does Winston mean when he says that he loves Julia all the more because she has had scores of sexual encounters?
Winston loves that she partakes in so much rebellion against the Party, especially since it is with Party members. She is impure and uncontrolled, which Winston loves. He can't stand the women who are always under the brainwashing control of the Party, so he loves Julia for showing signs of rebellion and intellectual thought.
