1984 Vs Brave New World :: compare contrast

Aldous Huxleys abide New World, and George Orwells 1984 and Animal Farm each make commentary regarding the organisation of society. Each story involves a so called perfect society, or Utopia. The people are given what they want, only to discover it wasnt really what they desired. It seems that both authors are telling us their idea of whats wrong with society, and how extreme these wrongs could become if we government to think for us. The government agency in which each story gives its warning is different. I will explore this.Throughout the fiction Winston tries to avoid the control o Big Brother, by committing many almost illegal crimes, such as retentivity a diary or sneaking around with Julia, his mistress. Winston is eventually caught, and tortured by "the Party" for his crimes, until he is restored and learns to love big brother.1984 contains a warning well-nigh the future. Though not specifically about computers, since it was finished in 1948 "Big Brother&q uot can be viewed as playing the role of a computer. The way big Brother, and tele - screens work can be linked to the commanding control computers have over society today. With the increase amount of electronic business and the deepen expansion of the Net the amount of personal information raging from tax file numbers to favourite colours available on line is aiding increasing governmental desire for a paperless world where you can be eliminated, monitored, or altered with the tap of a key.Although many similarities exist between Aldous Huxleys A Brave New World and George Orwells 1984, the works books though they deal with similar topics, are more dissimilar than alike. A Brave New World is a novel about the struggle of Bernard Marx, who rejects the tenants of his society when he discovers that he is not truly happy. 1984 is the story of Winston who finds forbidden love within the hypocrisy of his society. In both cases, the main character is in quiet rebellion against his gover nment which is eventually found to be in vain.     Huxley wrote A Brave New World in the three person so that the reader could be allotted a more comprehensive view of the activities he presents. His characters are shallow and cartoon-like in order to emend reflect the society in which they are entrapped. In this society traditional notions of love and what ideally should come out of it have long been disregarded and are now despised, "Mother, monogamy, romance.
