social groups, the proles, the outer party, and the inner party. In 1984, the outer party is represented as more of middle class citizens because they have been led to believe that they are superior to the proles, but they are inferior to the inner party. The outer party is represented with many details in the beginning revolving around Winston, who lives in not a very high end place. Smells of rotten cabbage. The outer party is no better than the proles or the inner party. The proles and the…

life and make unorthodox thoughts impossible. The class system is divided into three tiers: the Inner Party, the Outer Party, and the proles. Specifically, the proles make up eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, and, unlike the Party members, they are uncensored and allowed to break certain rules that Party members are not allowed to break.

police caught them. The proles are the working class people. They are fairly free: they are not controlled by the government and they are free to do what they want. They have careless lives.

The physical strength the proles will turn into consciousness about what’s going on and they will change the world. The proles are immortal; they will live forever through character and thoughts.
