Chapter 6 was maybe one of the most shocking to me. In this chapter, I discovered that Winston was married and her name was Katharine. I always thought he was just a guy that never found the right girl, but he did before they had to be separated. They were separated because Winston was only with her for sex, which is kind of messed up in my opinion. According to the Party, for people to be married it wasn't just about sex, it was about having children together and for them to not have sexual intercourse. The Party didn't like the idea of married couples to just have sex, they had to have a purpose of being together basically. Winston and his wife have been together for only 15 months and he thought that they were together for 10 or more years. Winston also explained how it was when they were in sexual intercourse and how she would feel like a wooden image. She was always stiff when he touched her.
