I don't want more stories about perfect plaster saints and I don't want stories about unapologetic dark antiheroes The darkest, cruelest kind of story is the story both of those avoid -- someone who desperately wants to be a good person but just fails, because they're weak

Self-deception is seductive. Everyone is telling their highlight real and for some people, that's their internal monologue. Why he do that? He's lazy. It is easier than thinking a bit harder.

The path of least resistance. Dune was pretty good about that and the moral ambiguity/trolley problem of the Golden Path. Duncan is an interesting case.

Where does Winston from 1984 fall in this this spectrum?
-
Context (I guess): I generally dislike anti-heroes. I even wrote an alternate ending to 1984 for a high school assignment where Winston buffs up (Uncle Iroh style) and somehow learns ratspeak (in order to weaponize the rats) to take over the Ministry of Love.

There was a movie with this in it recently that I loved because it had this, but other very vocal people didn't like it so the movie that followed undid the pesky complications of being human.
