Inner party members get a lot more luxury than the outer party
members. From the vistim to Obrien's house Winston notices a lot more
things that him nor the proles could ever have. A working elevator,
which is he doesn't have in his building, and Obrien lives in a lot
better part of town. One more thing is that Obrien had is that he
could turn off his telescreen. Once Winston and julia got there Obrien
turned off the telescreen which is not something that outer members
could do.

When Winston visits O'Brien he realizes that he can switcht the
telescreen on and off whenever he feels like it. It is shown that
they have more luxuries than Winston and Julia have. O' Brien has a
servant and a beautiful and large home. He seems to be on a shorter
leash though. O' Brien states that he can not have his telescreen off
for more than a few minutes or else he will be thought to be planning
something against Big Brother and the citizens of Oceania. In a sense
he has luxuries but is still bound pretty tightly. The part if town
that O' Brien lives in is a lot nicer than where Winston and Julia
come from. O' Brien is able to have a butler, or servant, that will
monitor who comes into his home and when. O' Brien is not only looked
out for by the government of Oceania but also his butler. Winston ad
the Proles do not have near as nice items at their homes as O' Brien
had in his; the velvet carpet, clean walls, wine, and otehr obsolete
items. The Inner Party members defintely live the "good" life while
Winston and the Proles barely make it by. Even though they have all
these riches they are still watched, if not closer, by the government
just like everybody else.

It seemed that from Winston's visit with O'brien that the inner party
members had many more luxuries than other people or proles. Among
these, the inner party members lived in a better part of town that was
restricted to inner party members only. In O'brien's building, he had
a working elevator, something Winston did not have. O'brien had a
butler, or doorman, that monitored who entered his home.
Most importantly, however, was the fact that O'brien could in fact
turn of his telescreen at his discretion. He did say that if it was
off for more than half an hour, it would arouse some interest from the
thought police, but if he turned it off sparingly for short periods of
time, he can effectively hide from the thought police.

Inner party members, have more advantages than outer and proles. The
outer and proles, since they live with living against the inner
members, they live more of a confined life than those who live in the
inner party, they receive anything they ask for and do not have to
hide their identity. Outer members and proles, have more of a
connection than the inner members. To the inner members, the past is
what they believe, no wars, and no family, although the outer and
proles know that there has been wars and they do have memories and
have had families. Winston become more open minde due to his dreams,
and in my own opinion, O'Brian is also against the inner party. When
Winston visited his place, O'Brian turned off the telescreen, so the
thought police or other members see them talking. Which then Winston
connects his dream about O'Brian and the quote: "We will meet in a
place where there is no darkness." Those who live among the inner
party lives in darkness, due to those who live out of it.

All throughout the book are details showing that the Proles have more
freedoms and rights than the rest of the public. Those freedoms are
included with their housing.
The most obvious freedom is that the Proles can turn off the
telescreen anytime they want to as long as it is off for about thirty
minutes. One of the luxuries that the Proles receive is wine.
When Winston and Julia walked into O'Brien's house, Winston described
it as if it was not an ordinary house. He talks about the blue carpet
that reminded him of velvet and the green shaded lamp. " The whole
atmosphere of the huge blocks of flats, the richness and spaciousness
of everything, the unfamiliar smells of good food and good tobacco,
the silent and incredibly rapid lifts sliding up and down, the white-
jacketed servants hurrying to and fro---everything was intimidating.
This quote shows how the Proles are able to have such a better
lifestyle than the rest of the public.

There are several differences between the inner part and outer party
members livig quarters. The biggest thing of all would probally be
that O'Brian can switch off the telescreen in his home! Winston
notices this right away, and is in a way scared that the telescreen
was not really switched off! After they had been at his home for a few
minutes O' Brian calls out his servents this is also a luxary that
only the inner party has. When the servent comes in O' Brian offers
them whine and a cigarett. Whine is alson very rare for the outer
party members to come across, and although Winston has had cigaretts
before these ones are smooth and do not fall apart as his do. O' Brian
and all of the inner party members also have good food and more of a
supply of it than the outer party members have. Overall the Inner
party members simply have many more luxaries than the outer party
does!

The Inner Party members live in luxury. They are able to turn off the
telescreens for only a half hour, but still they have they opportunity
to turn it off with a push of a button. They also have wine, and
breath mints to clear the wine smell. Winston, as an Outer Party
member, notices the difference in housing. He was invited to O'Briens
home, which is in the better part of town. O'Brien's home had velvet
carpet, clean walls, wine, and a butler. O'Brien had everything going
for him, the good life. The Outer Party members had housing that did
not have wine or butlers. The Outer Party where treated last, they
had a shortage of products all the time. Even though the Inner Party
was treated better and more important like, the Inner Party and the
Outer Party where still watched. They were both suspected of trying
to plan anything against the government, which is why there is a
limited time for telescreens to be turned off.

Like Ivo said, the inner party members have it a lot better than the
outer party members. It is kind of like comparing the lounges of the
Management and employees. The inner party members being the management
and the outer party members being the employees. Inner party members
have so much more freedom than the outer party members do, for
example, O'Brien turns off the telescreen, and Winston and Julia are
astonished because they do not have the freedom to do that.

I agree with what everybody said... First of all I would say that the
Inner Party members have a lot more luxurious houses and a lot of
privileges that the Outer Party member and the Proles don't have. They
live together in certain specific areas. The thing that shocked me is
that the Inner Party members have the privileges to turn off the
telescreen during 30 min. That means that they can do whatever they
want during that time. In the book, they describe the quarters as a
huge bock of flats with richness and spaciousness of everything. There
is a unfamiliar smell of good food and good tobacco and the town is
silent. The Inner Party members also have servants with white jackets
who hurry all the time and do whatever they want. Winston says that he
was really intimidated.
As far as I understood the Proles have smaller houses and nothing
luxurious because they don't earn a lot of money. They live with very
little. The Outer Party members don't even have privileges so we can't
compare them to the Inner Party members (they can't use "good" food
and good products nor turn off the telescreen). They actually don't
even know that that kind of food and products exist and hat the Inner
Party members are allowed to eat that. They just read it in books. For
the fist time, Julia and Winston try what Obrien calls wine...

The inner party definately has a lot more advantages than that of the
Outer party. They have so much more food and wine than the outer
party. Their homes are luxurious with fancier furnicher and equipped
with telescreens, which can be switched on and off when needed. In
turn, they must obviously have more privaledges if they are allowed to
control what the Party is seeing. O'Brien has a butler who is of
service to him, and Winston can barely afford his apartment flat. The
one thing similar is that they are still being watched by the Party.

the inner party members can stay without telescreen for like few
minutes and they have more " things" than the outer party
and when Julia and Wiston went in his house, he turned off the
telescreen, and they were really surprised because the outer Party can
not do it.
the inner party have more luxury like things better than the
others.Like a big house, and more things.

I agree with Gustavo's answer because they do have many luxeries, they
have servents and working elevators and they can also turn there
telescreens off, but adding on to that when they turn there
telescreens off they can only have it off for a few minutes or else
they are thought to be conspiring against the party

I agree with Tecya, the throughout book are details showing about the
Proles and the member of the party.
the party members had many more luxuries than the proles with housing
and when Winston and Julia whent In O'brien's building, they saw
elevator, something Winston had never seen before., they dindn't
believe that O'Brien's house was an "ordinary house"..also the proles
are considerated by de party as simple people, living just with the
necesary things..they have more freedoms and they can turn off the
telescreen anytime when O'Brien turned off the telescreen.
