Comparison of 1984 to Brave New World
I want to compare the dystopias illustrated by George Orwell in 1984 and Aldous Huxley in Brave New World. I will also compare Animal to those novels, but i will focus on the first two books. Brave New World and 1984 were both written by men who had experienced war on the grand scale of the twentieth century. Disillusioned and alarmed by what they saw in society, each author produced a powerful satire and an alarming vision of future possibilities. Although the two books are very different, they address many of the same issues in their contrasting ways.
Huxley's novel sets out a world in which society is kept carefully balanced, with the means of reproduction just as closely controlled as the means of production. Human beings and the goods they make are tailored to one another: people are created in order to fulfil particular purposes, and are encouraged to consume so as to maintain the cycle.
The society presented in 1984 is less comfortably balanced. The population is kept content with a rather meagre lot because of the constant war, which, as is explicitly stated in the Book, is a convenient means of maintaining the status quo, and the Party keeps a very close watch on those members of society who are deemed capable of disrupting it.
Although set in Orwell's future, 1984 does not put great emphasis on technological advance—indeed, within the society of Oceania, there is effectively none any more, because the methods required for proper scientific enquiry are antithetical to the demands of the Party, and thus real science has been abolished. Orwell posits a certain level of technological advance—the two-way television screens and the ever-present surveillance equipment, the novel-writing machines,, but not much else. His purpose was not to imagine the details of such technologies, but to present the use to which they are put.
Huxley goes considerably further in imagining scientific advance. In his World State, humans are engendered and grown in artificial

    Both Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World portray a dystopian societies where authoritarian control has been established and has replaced the individual’s freedom and identity by effectively altering the thoughts and actions of its population through the use of various control methods which will supposedly protect the majority against the threat this poses to their happiness and stability.

To do this, history is distorted or ignored completely and control is used as a means to keep…

    Although the modern dystopian novel and dystopian works of the early 20th century may share many of the same principles and components, the overall purposes behind them are poles apart. The popular novel, The Hunger Games and its sequels can be considered prototypical of our contemporary dystopian themes that emphasize; the act of rebellion against a state of oppression, the power that comes with being motivated by love, the presence of hope and the triumph of the protagonist over a totalitarian regime. George Orwell and Alex Huxley—authors of 1984 and Brave New World respectively—did not write stories that inspired resistance. They used allegory to pinpoint the faults in society and prophesy the end of human intelligence and freedom. Orwell…

    A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley has many of the same basic ideas as 1984 by George Orwell, but the two are more different than alike. In both books a totalitarian government is in complete control of the people, but A Brave New World shows a more positive side of this type of government than does 1984. 1984 doesn't show any good things that have come out of having this form of government, and is a warning of what can happen if people stop thinking for themselves and don't question the government.…

    In the book 1984, George Orwell the use of information technology shares some similarities and differences to the technology in United States today. Oceania and United States both share the fact that they keep track of this information to keep the citizens of their country relaxed about the state of their country. In Oceania the use of information technology is primarily used to keep The Party in power so no citizen’s rebel. In the United States today information technology is used to keep the country safe from other countries and the citizens of the United States who wish to do harm to the country. In Oceania the use of information technology is used to keep The Party in power of Oceania.…

    The Party in “1984” has achieved the power to control the minds and thoughts of the people, so much so that 2+2=5. This type of powerful, oppressive government is not achievable today because people are too aware of how technology works, and what the government is doing. In 1948, when Orwell wrote 1984 technology was just starting to advance and people were still worried about machines becoming intelligent and self aware. Today people know that way of thinking is outrageous.…

    However before the two novels can be thoroughly compared a brief background of both will be useful. Written in 1953, “Fahrenheit 451” is an American novel set in a war torn twenty fourth century where the ironically named “Firemen” control the outlawing of books through extremely violent methods. The narrative follows the protagonist Guy Montang, on his journey from Fireman to the unlikely leader of a group of galvanised intellectual exiles, as his world is overturned by nuclear war. On the other hand “Brave New World” was written earlier in 1932, and is set on the other side of the Atlantic in AD 2540. In this future world the planet has been unified under a “free” world state, eradicating both the need and purpose of war. Although similar to “Fahrenheit 451” in the fact that books to have been banned, a far more diverse range of oppressive techniques are exhibited in Huxley’s novel, ranging from the Bokanovsky process, where embryos are divided to create an identical population, to sleep learning where children are taught to obey the intricate class system of this highly “developed” world. Unlike “Fahrenheit 451”, there are far more characters with each…

    Children in many stories are depicted as small and insignificant, but in 1984 and Brave New World they are much more. The governments in both books realized that the power lies within the kids. Both governments figured out that if they could control the children they would control the future. Both governments went about gaining their power in slightly different ways, but each method was very powerful. The children in both Brave New World and 1984 are taught their belief systems by their government, but the children who live in 1984 are much more of a danger to those living in their society.…

    In the year of 1949, George Orwell saw a possible future from his reflection of the totalitarian regimes of World War II and experience in Spain as well as Russia, especially with Stalin. This would culminate into the novel known as 1984, in which the Party and their leader – Big Brother – have complete control of the nation known as Oceania, where everyone is under constant surveillance by the Thought Police. The story is set in London which has decayed just as much as the people’s souls and minds, shown as a “negative utopia”.…

Both novels are similar due to both conveying the government as corrupted in a satirical way.

    In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, there were many figurative ideological things that were created. For starters, there was a government known as the Party that had created a recessive regime to have full control over all people to a point where one cannot even think without the fear of being locked up and vaporized for thought crime. Within everyone was instilled a fear that if they acted out in any shape or form, they would be caught by the Thought Police and be dealt with in an unjustly manner. There were 3 countries or states: Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia, each country had within it 3 classes: Upper class, Middle class, and Lower class. Each country or state shared the same philosophy and attitude, that the government must have complete control over there people and the only way to do that is through psychological manipulation. By making sure that everyone is at the same level, changing and tampering with documents so that they appeal to what the government is saying, and dealing with people who act out in a severe manner so that no one else does the same makes sure that at all time, the government in power has 100% control over all. In a twisted way, yes, Orwell did foreshadow into the future and predict what is happening in our world today.…

    The common comparisons of surveillance, technology use, social conditioning, totalitarianism, and manipulation of language between America and 1984 and Brave New World have an erroneously negative effect on the average American’s perception of the government. Frequently used as political rhetoric, correlations between the negative aspects of these dystopian novels allow politicians and political journalists to impose a sense of distrust of the government, the fear of an Orwellian or Huxleyan society as a result of their opposition, and general pessimism about America as a whole onto their audience. Because the most frequent comparisons are relatively ill-informed about how these elements of society in 1984 and Brave New World differ from their…

    When 1984 was written, the world had just gotten out of a second war and the surprising rise of communism and their totalitarian government was frightening most of the western world. In George Orwell's novel, the main concern seems to be the overtaking of a supreme, socialist totalitarian government/dictatorship. On the other hand, when Brave New World was written, the world had just been swept by a wave of mass production and consumerism, and that too is reflected in Aldous Huxley's ultra-modern, test-tube baby, sleep-taught society.…
