When Winston's mother did not have anything else to give he knew that she would give him love. We ask ourselves what did he do in the end when he said - Do it to Julia!!! The Prometheus of new hope in the inhuman world of Big Brother betrayed love - the only thing that made him become human in the society where love was forbidden because it was a remainder of humanity according to P.B.Shelley's altruistic views. Therefore, the betrayal of Julia (the symbol of love) is, also, a betrayal of himself and his turning into one of the loveless, lifeless and faceless beings who made John Savage (the guardian of old values of Saturn's Golden Age) commit suicide in Huxley's "BNW".
