Yeah but Winston isn't supposed to be a "good person," he's just the protagonist

(I've never actually read the book, but I know a lot about it.)

Fair enough 

I feel like there might also be something there with Ingsoc's repression making him warped and bitter
Possibly
Idk

Literally 1984 or something idk

(Also if we're going to talk about 1984 don't forget to not talk about politics)

 

Edit: I meant current real politics, not politics in the book

1984 might be the straightest book I've read
I did not expect this

Half the book is about how much Winston hates women and the other half is about how  much Winston lusts after women
