1984 Final

O'Brien is one of the major characters in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The main character, and protagonist in the story, Winston Smith feels like he becomes very close with O'Brien, who happens to be an “inner party” member. In this novel the city is set up into a certain society where everything is suppsoed to “perfect” and where nothing can go wrong, and nobody does the wrong thing. Everyone living in this society always did the right thing because nobody knew what would happen if soemthing happened or if somebody did the wrong thing.
The idea of keeping their soceity in an “oligarchical collectivism” meant that everyone living there was under tight control and had little to no privacy and/or freedom. This type of living continued to go on as a result of everyone living in this society being too scared to speak up and say something about what was going on. The main reason was that no one knew what their fate would be if they acted against the party.
Winston always sort of suspected that O'Brien was secretly opposing the party and didn’t like what was going on. After a while O'Brien finally approached Winston and said some things to him that makes Winston think that what he was thinking about O’Briwn was acutally true. When Winston finally gets the urge to confront O’Brien about what was going on, O’Brien basically lets him know that he totally disagrees with the party and would be interested in overthrowing it. Winston believes O’Brien, only to later find out that O’Briwn was enitrely loyal to the party.
O’Brien says to Winston, “They’ve got you too! They got me a long time ago.” The party basically decides the fate of everyone living in their society and can maniupalte them with anything they feed to them. Towards the close of the book we find out that there acutally is no such thing as “Big Brother”, but it is only an imagainated thing to further scare the people living in the society and make them even more afraid to rebel against the party. Eventually, in Room 101, O'Brien does finally get to Winston and torture’s him to finally get Winston to grab on to the philosphy of “Big Brother” and the party, and Winston is finally brainwashed.
