Ampleforth
Julia
O’Brien
Winston Smith
The correct answer is O’Brien
So why is this answer correct? : In the early parts of George Orwell’s novel “1984,” protagonist Winston Smith finds himself casually drawn to the character of O’Brien. Winston is skeptical of Big Brother and the Inner Party that control society, and O’Brien drops hints that he may share those feelings. O’Brien eventually poses as part of the revolutionary Brotherhood group and lures Winston to join, only to have him arrested. After being detained, Winston sees O’Brien and asks if he has also been arrested, only to have O’Brien reveal his true self, saying, “They got me long ago.”
