Compare the definition of Comrades with O’Brien’s interrelationship of characters in “Friends and Enemies”.  Pay particular attention to the way the characters are revealed.

A:  The definition of comrade is a person who shares one’s interests or activities; a friend or companion.  This definition matches exactly to the relationship between O’Brien and his friends.  But the ironic thing is that comrade can also mean a fellow member of the Communist party and these men consider themselves comrades while fighting actual Communist Comrades, the Viet Cong.
