I recently posed a question on my blog about the true nature of O'Brien's alignment in 1984 - a question which has plagued me for decades. Was O'Brien truly a member of the Thought Police or could he have been - in reality - a member of The Brotherhood, dedicated (as Winston was) to the downfall of Big Brother?
I'm not sure whether this is allowed (sure I'll soon find out) but the fullness of my question is posted here: http://adriandeans.wordpress.com/2013...
