How can Winston be seen as an unlikely hero?In George Orwell's novel '1984.'

I also think Winston isn't a hero, not even 'an unlikely one', but I also think he never wanted to be a hero, he collaborated with the state he lived in, certainly through the means of his job, but I think he had problems with that from (despite the fact of it seems, at times liking his job) the very first beginning, these problems only evolve as the story continues, to my opinion Winston is very charismatic, he's of course not the guy, who can rally people together 'for a common cause', but who can in such a society, Winston was the kind of thoughtful guy who kept (his) reality high in mind, and therefore of course he not so easily acted, he also seemed to have been someone who despite his 'very' bad health (easily tired, pain in one of his shoulders, varicose ulcer!) was anyway prepared to help, and care for, his fellow people, his fellow people - very much aware of that, they seemed - seemed to have been easily turning toward him when they for example were in search for razor blades, but that, luckily, was the one 'luxury' - in case he had any spare - that he was not willing to provide them with. Yes, I have to say, I like Winston very much, and I think he's the kind of guy I am very much willing to stand up for!
