What is the symbolism of the dark haried girl "throwing aside her uniform" in Winston's dream?

I think this represents a couple of
things.


First, you ask about the symbol of throwing off the
uniform. I think this symbolizes throwing off the Party from one's self. She is letting
go of the exterior that she has to maintain to reveal the real self on the
inside.


Second, I think this action is very literal too.
Sex is frowned upon by the party, and Winston allowing his mind to go to the place to
actually long for it is rare, but human. Winston is being a normal and very real man
imagining a woman undressing.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
