The Protagonist of the novel, Winston Smith , is a member of the Outer Party as are most of the other characters we meet, though he does interact with a few Prole s (always a subject of disgust for Party members). The Outer Party represents the Middle Class in Oceanic society, bureaucrats who do most of the actual work in the Party government and its four ministries. Its members can be identified by their blue Coverall s. Interestingly enough, from a certain viewpoint, the members of the Outer Party, and not the " Proles ", are probably the worst off of the three classes. They lack the relative personal freedom of the proles, as they are under constant supervision by the Inner Party , and do not have the small comforts of the Inner Party such as pleasant food and more comfortable (if spartan) homes. Goldstein's Book explains the rationale behind the class divisions. |
