just wondering if i can get some anwsers here i have read the book, but not understood it too well.***** Does winston rebel against big brother for noble reasons or for his own selfish reasons? if anyone has some examples of either of these they would be extremly helpful!****************************************** ********************** -Cheers FastCash

I think you could say that his reasons are noble rather than selfish:

He is interested in truth, not a concept which benefits him personally.

He swears to commit any atrocity in the name of the fictitious Brotherhood, but when W believes it, his attitude is selfless, not selfish.

He is after proof of the past, again a selfless attitude.

I think he ends up being a little selfish, but only due to his hormones, and as Julia is described as being quite pretty, who the hell's gonna blame him?!

:D

He also wrote the diary for the future didn't he? He didn't succeed but he wrote it for O'brien and the future generations. I didn't really find Winston's intentions selfish at all. Julia just made it another reason to rebel.
