"Prole" is short for Proletariat. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the proles are the section of society that are unaware of the dystopian elements of their world. They are distracted by simple, unimportant matters such as the lottery, and are more concerned with emotions as opposed to politics. They make up 85% of the population within Nineteen Eighty-Four, and could potentially overthrow Big Brother. Winston believes this will happen one day, when they wake up to their situation and take action.

The proles are described as 'free people' and animals. They represent the majority of the population in Oceania. The name proles comes from the word 'proletariat' which represents the workers class in Communist Societies.

Just as the quote goes "Only the proles are free" and if there's hope, it lies in the proles. Winston knows that the only one that are free from the monitor of the party are the proles. Hence he viewed them as the only hope for freedom. However, the proles are not really concerned about this.
