Abstract
George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World have set the standard for contemporary literary dystopia thanks to their haunting representation of the bleak human future. They both depict and represent the degradation of human race to mere state-controlled slaves whose only purpose is to blindly obey the ruling regime and not to question authority. Both 1984 and Brave New World are considered to be prophetic pieces of literary work since almost everything described in those books became true in modern world. 1984’s depiction of oppressive totalitarian government came to life in totalitarian regimes of the latter half of the twentieth century, especially in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Communist Russia, while Brave New World’s depiction of excessive carnal enjoyment and economy based state, where everything revolves around money and material possession, came to life with the rise of capitalism and the worship of money. This paper deals with literary dystopia and the traits of totalitarian regimes as represented in the two novels. It focuses specifically on the issue of intimacy and the government's abuse of it in order to achieve total control.
