The main characters of 1984 are Winston, Julia, and O'Brien. They are quite special because they are from a dystopian world. Winston strongly opposes the way in which people are ruling the world and wants to somehow rebel against it. Julia (who is a lot younger than Winston) does not like the way in which the world is ruled, but is not motivated to rebel against it. O'Brien loves and supports Big Brother.
The different views of Winston and Julia on Big Brother relate to the real world. Their views show that if one generation do not fix a problem (of the world), then the next generation will have less motivation to fix that problem. Winston and Julia's different views motivate us, people, to not let problems go unfixed because if we don't fix them they might be unfixed for a long time.

This post is well organized. I also like your explanations about each character in the novel. Your point of view for the universal human experience part gave me a fresh look at the novel and I totally agree with your opinion. It would have been better if there were deeper descriptions about the characters and connections with your thoughts and the novel though. Anyway, it's well done!
