Winston's temptation to Julia is very similar to the temptation of tanning in most teens and adults with naturally fair skin. The natural bronze glow the tanning bed gives you in a short 15-20 minutes is amazing that, and it feels so good to just lay in the tanning bed on a cold winter day. The difference in the temptation to tan and Winston's temptation for Julia is that tanning is something you do, and Julia is a human being.
The temptation to tan is so hard to overcome because it makes you feel good and gives you a bronze color, but it could very well lead to a serious matter-which is skin cancer. Though Winston knows his temptations for Julia could lead him to getting in trouble with Big Brother, but he still wants to talk to her and see her whenever he can, as well as people who go tanning. They know of the serious and horrible outcome, but yet they still do it because its so tempting. Winston's temptation for Julia could lead him to getting in trouble with Big Brother, and getting vaporized, which is basically taking him off the face of the earth, as well the people who go tanning because they could eventually get skin cancer and die, which is sort of like taking them off the face of the earth also. Temptation can be okay sometimes if you are tempted to things that are good for you and will do you well in the long run.
