So the beginning of this is Winston working all hard and what not for hate week and he finally gets to start to read the book that was written by Goldstein. He takes no waste in time to start reading the book and when Julia walks in she isnt to interested in reading the book. And they both soon fall asleep. The place in which both of them thought they were safe and out of harms (or the party) way is actually all just a huge set up because after they wake up the soon notice that there is a "bug" behind the painting. The thought police come and arrest them and we as the readers find out that Mr. Charrington actually is with the party or what ever.
All of this should have been excpected being the reader it seems pretty obvious that all of this is going to happen so i dont understand how Julia and Winston didnt know all of this was going to happen. In the end all i could think of was that both Winston and Julia are pretty much getting messed with throughout this whole thing.

I think that Winston and Julia did know what was going on and what they were getting themselves into. They talked earlier in the novel about what they would do if they were caught because they expected that they would get caught sometime. Julia and Winston just said that they would try to stay alive as long as they could. At this time, Julia said that she was pretty good at staying alive, but when they got caught, she was the first to die; or so we are meant to think.... Therefore, they knew what was coming to them but they seemed to show apathy or denial, I'm not sure which.
