what main points should I include in an analysis paragraph about this passage from orwell's 1984?

Question

She did not understand that there was no such thing as happiness, that the only victory lay in the far future, long after you were dead, that from the moment of declaring war on the Party it was better to think of yourself as a corpse.
‘We are the dead,’ he said.
‘We’re not dead yet,’ said Julia prosaically.
‘I am afraid of death…So long as human beings stay humans, death and life are the same thing.’
(Orwell, 135-136)

Answer 1

Probably something about what it says about Julia's character.

Answer 2

One way to read human mortality in literature is to recall the Five Stages of Grief:

Denial and Isolation
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

The characters in 1984 go through these stages at different intervals. In the passage above, Winston thinks he has accepted his fate as an essentially dead person guilty of thought crime. Julia seems to be in denial and exaggerates her abilities to remain undetected by The Party. Both of their horrors have yet to begin.

Once you decide which stage of grief each character expresses in the passage, consider what that can tell you about their overall characters. It helps to have completed the novel, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Good luck!
