O’Brien- An intelligent executive at the Ministry of Truth who is a member of the Inner Party (the upper class). O’Brien also denounces to him his thoughts and ideas about the Brotherhood; in the end of the book he tortures Winston after he is captured.

The society in 1984 revolves around 3 “super states” which are Eurasia, Eastasia, and Oceania. All of these states are in a constant state of war with one another, yet all are self-contained, and require no trade with one another, and therefore do not require war as a means of economical necessity. However, it is their feeling that as long as a constant state of war is prevailing, the people will be too preoccupied with the war effort to worry about whether or not the present political system is working. The government constantly reminds the people that when they win the war, Oceania will rule the world, and life will be better. So therefore, as long as the war is going (as it always will be), peace within the states can prevail. The Government ruled by a faceless leader, controls even the past. No one is exactly sure what year it is, not even what day it is. Everyone is closely monitored, and children are trained as young as they can be, to be spies for the government. However not everyone works for the government, these are the outcasts. The Socialism that is portrayed is referred to
