I would understand you would not feel it to be real but contextually it was as true love as it could possibly have been under the circumstances. In a society where love is reduced to passionless, obligated interaction, Winston and Julia are as true as love could be contemplated to be. I think this really reinforces the idea that people think only within their boundaries, if there was the potential for love it would be easier for them to express it as the modern understanding but there's a point when Winston considers their love as something that could not have existed prior to the party control, showing how his understanding of love was restrained by the societal understanding of love.
I feel that the way he sold her out at the end is the only thing that acts contrary to the idea of their love being true as he completely betrayed her and effectively killed all I wanted it to end as
However, reading it again makes watching V for vendetta all the more enjoyable
love the stark parallels!
