Comparing Brave New World and George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four (198

Aldous Huxleys stomach new-fangled area is much relevant today than George Orwells 1984. Although both of the two undemocratic societies are establish on believable premises, the Utopia depicted in stick out New World thus far has a chance of appearing today, while the self-aggrandizing Brother-dominated inn created by Orwell, organism based to some extent on the totalitarian societies that existed at the time of the books inception, is simply obsolete. bear New World stiff much believable in modern times because the events that led up to the creation of Huxleys Utopia have the greater chance of occurring tomorrow. In both novels, the bloodline of the totalitarian society is brought on by a catastrophic fight that probably involves the entire world. However, in 1984, the war is in the process of being fought, giving the reader the impression that somewhere in this world, there is still a non-totalitarian government which could defeat Orwells nightmarish police state. In Brave New World, the war that preceded the creation of Utopia has long since passed it often appears as though Utopia has always existed. This makes it much more believable than Big Brother, especially since it seems more likely to occur when the world is at peace. Also, the war depicted by Brave New World contains technology that seems particularly significant in modern times. In Utopia, Western Europe Controller Mustapha Mond mentions that the war previous the inception of their society was fought using Anthrax Bombs. Because biological weapons have give-up the ghost more common part of military arsenals in recent years, readers of Brave New World have more reason to believe that its reading of the war that starts the rise of totalitarianism could happen today. Finally, 1984 ... ... in Huxleys Brave New World, is more universal and more relevant to modern society than 1984s Big Brother. While both Utopia and Big Brother are equally plausible versions of a future society, the two were brought into existence by different former events. Also, Big Brother has a faint historical basis Orwell meant for it to smooth the totalitarianism of the communist governments that existed in his era. Huxley gives no indication in Brave New World whether Utopia echoes a particular totalitarian society in real history, allowing it to remain plausible in an era when the brutal commie regimes that existed in Orwells time are virtually gone. Finally, Big Brother ensures its say-so by inflicting pain on dissidents while Utopia uses pleasure. Utopia, therefore, would stay in violence more easily because pleasure is a more effective rule of control than pain.
