I sold you and you sold me-" Page 293
Parallelism eh? The lyrics of this song directly parallel the relationship between Julia and Winston. For example, the both sold each other out in order to attain a greater good. They both knew that in order to be saved and not be killed that they must wish the ill upon the other. This is sad that the Party was endorse such behavior. Love is to be a mutual respect and a mutual agreement. Never in a million years did Winston imagine that Julia would be the one who is saved because she wishes ill upon him and vice versa. The Party does not know that they are in the wrong and believe they are doing what is best for the whole. However, this could be far from true, for they are the ones that are delusional in the head. Not Winston.
