Mr Charrington
An old man, who owns the shop in the prole district, where Winston rents the room. He also appears to support Winston’s rebellion against the Party and his relationship with Julia, since he rents Winston a room without a telescreen in which to carry out his affair. However, Mr. Charrington is not as he seems. He is a member of the Thought Police.
