Winston: The main character of the book. He is a very contradictive person and often messes with his own mind or can’t focus onto one answer. At the beginning of the book, it seemed as if Winston was battling his own mind to try and find out what he really wanted. Throughout the whole book, Winston was always so sure that he was going to get caught and that he was going to get killed. When he wrote in his diary or talked with his friends during lunch, he would think “These guys will get killed sooner or later, and so will I, because I’ve committed thoughtcrime”. No matter what he’s doing, Winston always thinks towards the negative side and believes that something bad will happen to him. Winston wants to rebel in order to satisfy his own curiosity and find out things that he didn’t know before, but he couldn’t achieve it. It would never be possible with his negative thinking. In the end, I was quite sad that Winston ended up being orthodox and completely dedicated to liking The Big Brother because it almost seemed as if he could reach past the borders of the government and find out much more.
Julia: The girl that Winston eventually falls in love with. I find Julia to be a burden for Winston because I feel like she’s constantly holding him back. When Winston gets captured into Room 101, he eventually falls into acceptance of The Big Brother because he loves Julia.
O’Brien: This guy really twists up my mind. He is the one who makes me feel like this is some kind of James Bond movie and people are getting double crossed everywhere. At first, he acts to make Winston believe him and he turns out to be one of the Thought Police leaders, now that’s just messed up. He told Winston that “They got me already” which probably suggests that he had tried to rebel in the past but a similar thing happened to him which brings him to being orthodox. This is probably the character that I liked the most while
