1,551 words
Sexuality and the Search For Truth in Orwell's
Nineteen Eighty-Four The question of the existence
of human nature has been a popular topic in modern
literary works. Authors such as Shelly and Freud
seem to agree that there is such a thing, however,
they disagree on its attributes. Orwell also
believes that human nature does exist but he takes
it a step further than simply acknowledging its
existence. Rather, in 1984 he uses such themes as
truth and sexuality to enhance the attributes of
human na...

World Of 1984 Winston Smith
2,013 words
The fictional world of 1984 is best described as

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich Brave New World

A Comparison Contrast of A Brave New World and
1984 Although many similarities exist between
Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World and George
Orwell's 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 m...

The Political allegory of George Orwell's 1984 In
1984, by George Orwell, the reader sees a primary
theme of political allegory and satire. Orwell is

the world did not become aware of the terrible
problems facing it, not in 1984, but here and now.

a warning. He believed that in many ways society

Submission of Societies Nicole Simes English 11
" Oppression that cannot be overcome does not
give rise to revolt but to submission. " This
concept can be clearly seen in both Brave New
World and 1984, even though the structure of their
societies are different. The goal of their
respective governments is the same, total control
of society. The governments use similar tactics of
manipulation, with the purpose of keeping the
majority in ignorance and submission. The
governments in 1984 a...
