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

Aldous Huxleys intrepid revolutionary World is more than(prenominal) relevant today than George Orwells 1984. Although both of the two undemocratic societies are based on plausible premises, the Utopia depicted in Brave invigorated World lull has a chance of appearing today, while the sorry Brother-dominated society created by Orwell, being based to some extent on the totalitarian societies that existed at the time of the books lineage, is simply obsolete. Brave smart World remains more believable in for contendd-looking times because the events that led up to the installation of Huxleys Utopia have the greater chance of occurring tomorrow. In both novels, the birth of the totalitarian society is brought on by a catastrophic war that presumable involves the entire world. However, in 1984, the war is in the process of being fought, gravid the reader the impression that somewhere in this world, there is still a non-totalitarian government which could defeat Orwells ni ghtmarish 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 ever 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 preceding the inception of their society was fought using Anthrax Bombs. Because biological weapons have become more common part of military arsenals in recent years, readers of Brave New World have more reason to believe that its version of the war that starts the rise of totalism could happen today. Finally, 1984 ... ... in Huxleys Brave New World, is more universal and more relevant to modern society than 1984s Big Brother. dapple both Utopia and Big Brother are equally plausible versions of a future socie ty, the two were brought into existence by different preceding events. Also, Big Brother has a faint historical basis Orwell meant for it to reflect 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 solid history, allowing it to remain plausible in an era when the brutal Communist regimes that existed in Orwells time are virtually gone. Finally, Big Brother ensures its dominance by inflicting pain on dissidents while Utopia uses pleasure. Utopia, therefore, would stay in power more easily because pleasure is a more effective method of examine than pain.
