Brave New World vs. 1984There are many similarities and differences between Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell's 1984. With my analysis of the two novels, I came to the conclusion that they are not as much the same as one might think. Brave New World is a novel about the struggle of John, “the savage,” who rejects Brave New World society and discovers that he can never be truly happy there. 1984 is a novel about Winston, who discovers forbidden love within a society that does not love openly. In both novels, the main character struggles with his society and government to change, resulting in disaster. Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1931 in England. Brave New World is an excellent demonstration of how technological advancements could ultimately lead to downfall and a controlled society. In this consumer society, the traditional ideal of love and its reproduction has long been ignored and despised: “Mother, monogamy, romance. The fountain springs high; the wild, fierce, frothy jet. Envy has only one outlet” (Huxley 41). The comparison with a wild jet is intended to show the dangers of these activities. Many of Brave New World's social norms aim to "save" its citizens from anything unpleasant by depriving them of the ability to experience emotions and have their own moral values ​​and beliefs. The values ​​of Brave New World society are “community, identity, stability”. ," (Huxley 1) are the most important. Soma, the ultimate magic drug, is what keeps the population from revolting. "What you need is a gram of soma... All benefits of Christianity and alcohol; none of their faults" (page 15). This drug is most important to members of society because it is believed to protect them from some of the more difficult aspects of life, such as disappointment and sadness. The drug is Used as a form of recreation, people often take a "Soma vacation", and its use is encouraged on any occasion, especially when big emotions, such as sadness or love, begin to arise in people's society. are conditioned to take soma to calm them.
