Betrayal is the act of using treachery or disloyalty to expose an enemy. In 1984, by George Orwell, the nature of betrayal was often portrayed in the society of Oceania through government manipulation and through the acts of the characters, like Julia, who betrayed Winston.

In 1984, Julia and Winston not only demonstrated how they betrayed each other but also how they betrayed their own values.
What if the people who was supposed to protect you from danger were the ones who put you in it? What if 9/11, one of the most tragic days in America’s history, was caused by our own government?

It is sort of like no matter how good of a person you are or the good stuff you do, once you make a mistake, people will always remember that one mistake you made. We as humans tend to be more loyal and truthful to our family and friends compared to when it comes to our jobs and businesses.
