Questions about 1984

Q: Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?

The main character of this novel is Winston Smith. Other characters that come out a lot but aren't as important as Winston are O' Brien and Julia. I personally don't like any of the characters but I did admire Winston. Winston is an ordinary person who tries to find the truth about the world he is living in and wants to find a better place to live in. That really is challenging. Julia to me just seems like a little girl trying to break rules and not get caught. She's just someone you meet once in your life. You can be a close friend to her or be an enemy but nothing more than that. O' Brien is someone who loves the party dearly and he would do anything to anyone to make them submit to the party. To me he's just this crazy person messing up people's lives. Hes really cruel and inhuman. The characters show parts of people characteristics. Being curious about rebelling against upper powers, fighting for what's right to you, and using every way possible to get people do what you want. Its what you can see in any normal person.
