The video tutorial discusses the main and lesser characters in George Orwell's 1984. It covers Winston Smith, the closest to a hero, who is ultimately defeated by the Party. Julia, a product of the Party, rebels in her own way. O'Brien, a complex figure, appears to sympathize with Winston but is loyal to the Party. Big Brother, the omnipresent dictator, may not even exist. Lesser characters include Emmanuel Goldstein, the Party's enemy, Mr. Charrington, a thought police member, and Parsons, an ideal Party member who is still arrested. The video highlights the oppressive nature of the Party and the lack of safety for anyone in Oceania.
