    A Brave New World vs. 1984 There are many similarities and differences between Aldous Huxley’s A Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984. With my analysis of both novels‚ I have come to the conclusion that they are not as alike as you would believe. A Brave New World is a novel about the struggle of John‚ ‘the savage‚’ who rejects the society of the Brave New World when and discovers that he could never be truly happy there. 1984 is a novel about Winston‚ who finds forbidden love

    Hamlet supports a large array of themes‚ but I feel that the most prominent theme‚ by far‚ must be that of Appearance vs Reality. Shakespeare’s work‚ very much open to interpretation of the individual reader‚ makes the question of the central theme one that proves difficult to choose but simple to support no matter the decision. The play‚ filled with problems and questions answered with yeses or noes or anywhere in-between‚ creates a large area for discussion and person identification. Whether the

    Reality and appearances‚ or if you prefer‚ being and acting‚ are important themes for both Machiavelli and Shakespeare. Why? How do their perspectives on this subject agree or differ?

    1984 Vs. Brave New World Imagine a world in which people are produced in factories‚ a world lost of all freedom and individuality‚ a world where people are exiled or “disappear” for breaking the mold. Both 1984 by George Orwell and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are startling depictions of such a society. Although these novels are of fictional worlds‚ control of the future may be subtly evolving and becoming far worse than Huxley or Orwell could ever have imagined

    Shakespeare examines the theme of appearance and reality in his book-Hamlet. The dilemma of what is "real" is established at the very beginning of the play. Hamlet doesn’t know what to believe and devises a plan to find out. The old king Hamlet appears to be bitten by a snake‚ but in reality he was poisoned‚ the ghost appears as an apparition‚ but it’s actually real‚ and the play-with-in-a-play strongly depicts the theme of appearance vs. reality. The dead King appears to have been bitten by a snake
