The government, or "Party," is headed by Big Brother, who appears on posters everywhere with the words: "Big Brother is watching you." People are subject to the Thought Police, who deal with anyone guilty of thought-crimes. There is no personal freedom, and advanced technology has become the driving force behind a surveillance-driven society. “To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone - to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink - greetings!” - George Orwellġ984 portrays a global society of total control in which people are not allowed to have thoughts that in any way disagree with the corporate state. Who could have predicted that 70 years after Orwell typed the final words to his dystopian novel, “He loved Big Brother,” we would fail to heed his warning and come to love Big Brother. ![]() It’s been 70 years since Orwell - dying, beset by fever and bloody coughing fits, and driven to warn against the rise of a society in which rampant abuse of power and mass manipulation are the norm - depicted the ominous rise of ubiquitous technology, fascism and totalitarianism in 1984. Tread cautiously: the fiction of George Orwell has become an operation manual for the omnipresent, modern-day surveillance state. ![]() They are called World Controllers.“You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.” - George Orwell, 1984 Although the society depicted by Huxley is also based on communistic ideas here are ten leaders instead of two (as in Animal Farm). It is necessary to stress that not people, but Brave New World itself becomes the main character of the novel. Huxley’s Brave New World is not just a dystopia it is also a science-fiction novel.Įach character of this book is characterized in close connection with the society people live in. He behaves the same way as Stalin, who tended to act behind the scenes. Napoleon losing support from other animals in the farm uses dogs to get snowball’s power. This confrontation between Napoleon and Snowball fully describes the relationship between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws” (Orwell, 46). Orwell used the following lines to demonstrate conflict situation between Snowball and Napoleon: “At this, there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. However, making everybody to obey leaders, the latter does not stop constant opposition and struggles for power. The leaders get an opportunity to have another lifestyle than all other animals they apply the abuse of language and the abuse of power to keep order on the farm. Thus, Snowball and Napoleon are in constant conflicts because both of them are eager to be leaders in the farm. ![]() This book does not only show the dystopia of communistic society here the author also demonstrates love for power and attempts to get it. Pigs become the ruling animals on the farm. The books demonstrate people’s life under constant control of their leaders. The director of hatcheries and conditioning in Brave New World reminds of Stalin as well. Thus, Snowball and Napoleon in Animal Farm stand for Trotsky and Stalin. The leaders introduced to the audience by Huxley and Orwell existed in real life. There is one in Brave New World and two in Animal Farm. It should be stressed that the books under analysis have prototypes. Although Aldous Huxley and George Orwell gave birth to the books belonging to the same genre, they applied different ways to demonstrate the consequences of living in a so-called “ideal communistic society”. ![]() It is giving drugs to the citizens in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and strict order in Animal Farm by George Orwell. ![]()
