They are clever. Never in a million years did Winston think that the man who told him he could overtake the party would be the one to condemn him. Winston is astonished when he realizes that O'Brien is the one who set him up. He thought he would be the one to save humanity from the demise of the Party, but he quickly realizes that that is down the drain. He thought that since he read the manual to the Party that he was in the inner group of people trying to overthrow the Party. However, he never realized that he would someday be placed next to those same men and not be able to defend himself, for he has no defensive argument. This is evidence to Winston that the Party is everywhere. No matter how hard anyone tries, they will always be overcome by the Party, who is everywhere and omnipotent.
