Abstract
Through comparative interpretation, this paper aims to analyze a number of points concerning human social life and technology as they are touched upon in Herbert George Wells’s The Time Machine and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. The paper observes H. G. Wells’s and A. Huxley’s political and private lives, as the two not only stand out as key creators of utopian and dystopian fiction that were inspired by contemporary events and wrote about similar topics, but also had strong opinions regarding one another during their lifetimes. This analysis of the authors’ lives helps to give context to key motivations behind the creation of the two novels, as well as to portray essential features, similarities and differences between them, notably the authors’ common criticism of capitalism and industrialization. Primarily, the paper is concerned with the social arrangements present in the two works’ respective worlds, the roles that the protagonists play in the stories, as well as leisure activities that inhabitants of the future worlds engage in. The paper further discusses the function and state of technology and machinery present in the two future societies, as well as the role that technology played in establishing the aforementioned social systems, and finally, the paper delves into the state of humanity, ecology and animal life as portrayed by the two works.
