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.

In George Orwell’s 1984 and James McTeigue’s movie V for Vendetta that would be completely normal. The citizens do not have these freedoms‚ in fact they do not have freedom at all. Both 1984 and V for Vendetta are being ruled by a totalitarian government and have similar views on how society should be run.

In 1984‚ each and every move was monitored by telescreens. Whether you were eating‚ sleeping‚ or taking a shower‚ you were watched. In order to keep everyone in line‚ human instincts were very discouraged

1984 Essay George Orwell had prophesized’ what the world would be like 35 years from his time in the book 1984. The theme of 1984 is more likely to be obedience of the people more than oppression. Even though oppression is suddenly the thought that comes to mind when you think of 1984‚ the real purpose of the oppression such as on their freedom is for the people to be obedient and to support the party and Big Brother. There is much of oppression of freedom in 1984 in many ways. Some of the forms
