What Are The Similarities Between 1984 And Brave New World

Over the decades, there have been many events that have been life changing, and these events have driven authors to write world renowned political books. These books have been referenced in the media and can be applied to problems of today or quite possibly future problems. Two authors that have made their mark in the literature world are Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. Through both of their novels, 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World, both authors divulge the public with their political opinions and attitudes.
1984 by George Orwell is centered around a character named Winston Smith, whose daily life of oppression is told in this book. It takes place in Oceania, a place where an organization called the Party who likes to scrutinize every

In the book, there are three main superpowers Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. These are inspired by the actual realignments that were directly after WWII.

It directly shows that the Party doctors the information to turn the masses of people against Emmanuel Goldstein and blame him for all of the problems that arose that were directly a cause of the Party’s manipulation.

Old Major is the prize boar of the farm, and he is convinced that a rebellion must come soon and he teaches the animals their anthem, Beasts of England. Old Major dies, and two pigs named Snowball and Napoleon take over. They relay his messages into an idea called Animalism. They then establish the Seven Commandments and paint over “Manor Farm” to where it reads “Animal Farm”. There is a period where everything on the farm is running smoothly and the animals all attend their weekly meetings, in which they decide the future of the farm. Snowball realizes that all of the animals cannot remember the Seven Commandments down to a single phrase: “Four legs good, two legs bad.” The pigs are also getting preferential treatment, as they get all of the milk and apples on the farm. The idea of the rebellion spread to other farms and animals everywhere are singing their anthem, Beasts of England. The neighboring farmers attempted to take Animal Farm back by force and they were led by Mr. Pilkington of Foxwood and Mr. Frederick of Pinchfield Farm. Led by Snowball, the animals fight off the invaders in the Battle of Cowshed. Snowball is decorated for his efforts as an Animal Hero, First Class. Snowball and Napoleon start fighting about policies, for example whether to focus on food production or to build the windmill that Snowball
