Who was the straw opponent in Fahrenheit 451? Captain Beatty certainly went on a few diatribes, but I don't know if I'd say he was the main opponent of the protagonist.

Is it a problem of straw opponents specifically, or just books that are more interested in making a broader statement that is the issue? If it's the latter, then certainly Orwell's 1984 would fit the description perfectly, and I wouldn't change a thing about any of the characters.
