1984 by George Orwell

George Orwell once offered this definition of heroism: ordinary people doing whatever they can to change social systems that do not respect human decency, even with the knowledge that they cant possibly succeed.
In Winston Smith, the protagonist of 1984, Orwell creates an ordinary person, an everyman who stands for all the oppressed citizens of Oceania. Yet, as the novel closes, Winston cries as his love for Big Brother overwhelms him. Is Winston the novels hero, by Orwells definition? Is he a hero that readers can admire and emulate? Explain your position by tracing Winstons actions throughout the novel and considering the results of those actions.
