Huxley vs. Orwell

Both authors describe a society the t is futuristic, however, they both have descriptions that mirror our world today. Huxley created a world where people were trained to love certain things. Huxley feared that there would be no reason to ban a book because there would be no one interested in reading books. In the book Brave New World, people weren’t raised by their parents, in fact they didn’t even have parents. Babies were made in a factory where they would take one egg and split it however many times they wanted to.

They coo old make up to nineteen identical twins from just one egg. The story started out with a gar pup of dents receiving a tour of the London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre fro m a man literally named The Director. “The Director started by explaining the process b y which the humans were grown inside bottles and then conditioned (brainwashed)” to be live certain “morals”(Shampoo). English Com 121 In short, what Huxley feared that the future of our government and that the government would give us so information that we would become passive and egotistical.

He feared that the truth would be “drowned in a sea of e). Huxley also was concerned that “we would become a trivial culture preoccupied with mom equivalent of the fillies, the orgy porgy and the centrifugal bumblebee’s'(professorship). I believe what Huxley was saying in that last statement is that he fears that our society will become irrelevant and what we love with be the end of us (Zeroed). Understand his fears and if he could see what our culture is like today I believe that he would be spinning in his grave. 984 is opposite of Brave New World but still follows the dyspepsia like theme. George Orwell wrote 1 984 after some experiences with Nazi and Stalinist stats sees. His book is about government oppression and his worries of how the future would turn out. The world he created was terrifying where wars were fought constantly for no 10th err reason but to create shortages of people, terror, and uniformity. The main goal of the go Vermont was to control everyone’s thoughts completely.

The main character of the story WA s named Winston Smith who is still able to think for himself despite the constant prop agenda and monitoring of everything in his life. Winston Smith lives in Oceania, one of the three countries that split up the entire globe; the other two were Eurasia and East IA. All three countries were lead by Big Brother which was the government in 1984. Big BRB other is always watching and they try to control everyone?s thoughts. In short, Winston n was disgusted by the culture he lives in and decided to keep a diary.

He also fell in love with a woman named Julia who is also a rebel; to fall in love someone was a crime(S pa remotes). Orwell feared the people that banned books considering the time period he lie Veda in. He also feared those who would “deprive us of information and keep the truth h concealed from us”(Zeroed). Orwell worried that we would become a “captive culture e and controlled by having pain inflicted upon us”(Professorship). Most of all, Row ell feared that our ruin would come because what of we hate; that we would all die of w AR and government oppression (Professorship).

There is a lot of debate in literary circles about both of these authors and who right, and more importantly who most accurately describes the current society y we live in. While both authors make very valid points as well as amazing descriptions, the ere are some clear differences. In my research I found a statement by one oftener many fan s that it sums up the similarities and differences of both authors. L believe they’re both right, but if you have to choose, then Huxley is the clear winner.

If you presume that society runs in circles, slowly stereotyping, like a malfunctioning rocket doing loops as it heads higher in the sky, then Orwell m rely described a single loop of the rocket. On the other hand, Huxley described n tot only his own loop, but what would happen when the rocket ran out of fuel. To put it another way, I believe Orwell correctly described the acts of many government TTS at the time and Huxley correctly described contemporary and future government s” (Macho Man).
