Why does Winston Smith hate the Party in 1984?

In
,hates the Party and detests Big Brother. Winston, an intellectual and
naturally curious individual, is frustrated with the stifling nature of the Party's intellectual
policiesnotably rewriting history, which is ironically exactly what Winston does for a
career.

Being older and able to remember the times before the Party's
complete control, Winston knows what the world was like and could be like without Big Brother's
control. He is dissatisfied on an intellectual level because he cannot convince himself of the
lies and constantly shifting history of their country. He is very intelligent and seditious in
that regard, simply because his own natural curiosity prevents him from shutting off his brain
and accepting the lies of the Party out of hand.
