Where is Winston headed?

It is very hard to predict Winston's future. This is mostly because he doesnt even know what he wants. One second he hates the party and decides the proles need to change everything, the next he is ready to commit suicide. One predication I have for Winston is that he might try and join the proles, if that is possible. He seems to really envy them and he knows they’re a party that can change the world. He also seems to envy the freedom they get to enjoy. On the other hand, when Winston is inspired I could see him being the face of a revolution. He has such perfect ideas and they make sense, like when he says “2+2=4” and that knowing what reality is will help. But, right after Winston goes and visits the proles he becomes terrified of the woman again. He also puts all of his trust back into the party as he reads the slogans again. I think the reason it is hard for anyone to rebel is because as much as they might like to, the party makes them feel safe. So, even though he has these ideas, the minute he gets scared he forgets everything he believes in and trusts the party again. His back and forth makes it hard to predict his future. I personally hope that he can be the face of a rebellion, but I think that its really hard to predict.
