Would the following information help?
Influenced by fascism and Nazi rise as well as Orwell’s longing curiosity for political truth, Nineteen Eighty-Four conflicts with the fundamental human need to understand purpose and generate an individual identity while dealing with the peril of one’s existence living amongst a world of repressive collectivism.
Instigated through a lack of human connection, Winston privately rebels through "writing" in "a diary", "thoughtcrime" and buying "genuine antiques". However, it is not until he engages in a secret affair with Julia that he finds strength and individual identity amongst a world of tyrannical collectivism. Through this, Winston discovers that the Party’s elimination of "pure love" and connection amongst individuals plays into humanity's deepest fear of isolation, constraining the need for love onto the collective.
The power of the collective is too great for the rebel of a lone individual to overcome, resulting in the responsibility of change to lie amongst communities that inspire hope through their combined human experience. Individual vulnerability is exposed through the stripping of Winston’s identity and individuality as the Party forces him to see that "2 + 2 = 5", enforcing the motif and failure of the individual against the all-powerful collective.
