1) How does Winston's relationship with Julia begin to change his state of mind in the opening chapters of Book Two?
In the beginning chapters of book 2 Julia and Winston have a new relationship. After Julia gave Winston the note that says "I love you" in the begging of the book in Chapter one, Winston's life changes. Winston no longer resents her, and wants to find a way to be with her. Evidence of his new found liking toward her is when he trips a man about to sit at the vacant seat at her table in chapter 1.

Winston's outlook on life becomes less gloomy and repetative. Winston begins to enjoy his days by doing things he doesn't do every single day. Winston also begins to have hope that there are others like him. Since Julia seemed like a devout party member and was not, it gives a glimmer of hope to Winston.
Martin - you scrape the surface here - can you expand on this? How does Winston tripping a man reveal his liking for Julia? How is his life less gloomy - in what ways?
