"...instead of the eyes of the girl, the eyes of the aged prisoner gazed mournfully at Winston out of nests of hair." (117)

      The fact that Winston sees the prisoner's eyes over Julia's shows that subconsciously, he knows that their relationship will get him arrested, and eventually tortured and possibly vaporized. It is foreshadowing the chapters ahead. Winston knows that he will soon be in the prisoner's position, and this is how Orwell shows that. The eyes are symbolic for the soul, and for connections between souls. Winston had not fully connected with Julia yet, but he could definitely relate and connect to the prisoner, who (like Winston) had likely done nothing wrong.
