“And here I am, again… I could die because of this “rebellion”; I mean after every torture I have suffered, I don’t want you to ignore the situation we have to deal with. I really don’t care about myself anymore; they have taken off every single thing I used to long for, even my life as everyone’s here, and we are all robots without souls, as they have wanted it to be since always. Nothing is good ever. Even that I know the truth. I am trying to live with it.” -Winston wrote on a notebook. The sun was shining as always in the sky, a sun-ray entered from the window and made Winston wake up, in order to start preparing himself for another day of suffering without complaining. The only thing he could do each time Julia crossed around him was, to close his eyes, wish she were ok, and think about the new diary he was trying to keep for a brave future but, this time he will be more careful with this type of rebellion, no more people to trust in, no more nothing, just he and his secret. …show more content…

    With this act of rebellion against the oppressive system of Oceania, Winston showcases his courage because he does all of this to aid him in his journey towards uncovering the truth of the past. Next, there is the selflessness that Winston possesses. For this specific quality, it is shown most prominently when Winston gets into a disagreement with Julia on their goals for their rebellion. During this argument, Winston firmly states that the reason for his desire to obtain and keep incriminating records of the Party’s lies is so that they can be left behind, thereby allowing for “‘the next generations [to] carry on where [they] leave off’” (196). From this, Winston demonstrates how unselfish he is because, rather than worrying about himself – like Julia – he wants actual change and progress to come as a result of his rebellion.
