#its not like oh no they got to winston theres no hope for ANYONE
Text
the answer is yeah winston probably deserved all that but not everyone else
#people try to analyze the book as like life in the party MADE him like that!#and its like maybe but weve never seen him in a favorable light#even as a kid he stole chocolate from his brother and money to buy a toy#i THINK its been a minute since i read it too but its somewhere abouts what he did#and yeah children make mistakes but from what i remember he didnt even necessarily feel bad about it until much later i think#so like the book gives us a protagonist were forced to want to win for sheer virtue of how unfathomably worse the opposition is#because theres no way the party is more innocent than him#but i just sit there reading about him fantasizing about raping and killing some random woman and its like#sorry maybe im being a hashtag anti or too sensitive but i just like. dont see positive qualities there. i dont strive to see him thrive#and winstons not the only one who can take down the party nor the only one whos tried like the revolution#doesnt end with him the end of the book isnt game over#and i get it i really do get that im way oversimplifying what is meant to be a complex and controversial narrative choice here#but like hes just a pathetic piece of shit even at his most quote unquote heroic#its not like oh no they got to winston theres no hope for ANYONE
