2.    Who is Emmanuel Goldstein and how is he presented to the people of Oceania? What is the probable significance of using the obviously Jewish name?

Leader of the Brotherhood, an underground rebel organization. He wrote the book read by Winston. He is the object of the daily Two Minutes Hate exercise designed to direct citizen frustration away from the Party.
