Emmanuel Goldstein

Emmanuel Goldstein is a fictional character from George Orwell's novel "1984." He represents the enemy of the totalitarian regime, depicted as the face of dissent and rebellion against the Party. Goldstein is often blamed for society's problems, serving as a scapegoat to unify the citizens under the Party's control. His book, "The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism," critiques the Party’s ideology, though the Party publicizes him as a traitor. The concept of Goldstein illustrates how authoritarian governments manipulate fear and propaganda to maintain power and suppress individuality.
