Comparing Rebellion

This comparison worksheet examines Winston and Julia’s differing approaches to rebellion in 1984. Students decide whether each statement about rebellion applies to Winston, Julia, or both, then write one similarity and one difference in their perspectives. The task encourages analytical thinking about motivation, philosophy, and resistance under totalitarian rule. By contrasting the two characters’ forms of defiance, students gain insight into individual versus collective resistance and Orwell’s exploration of human spirit under oppression.
