EVENGE AND LOVE THEME IN WUTHEING HEIGHTS BY EMILY BRONTE
Explore the writers oppression in Nineteen Eighty Four and Brave New WorldBoth Orwell and Huxley present to the reader in their novels Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty Four, a new society, one reinvented where totalitarian aspects of society rule. Both societies strive for stability and inevitably a utopian society. Orwell and Huxley explore the possibilities of achieving this, and warn of the dangers and impracticability of attempting such a society where individualism is crushed, and conformity and submission is adamant. Huxley and Orwell achieve this by dispelling/disregarding institutions and norms that form a society recognizable today and replace them with substitutes that create/promote a dysfunctional, dystopian society. As each novel progresses it is clear that neither societies contain family values, or attempt to live by them. This affects how society and those belonging to it, express and forms itself through recognised relationships, bonds, actions and norms identified by readers. Both societies are corrupted by this, in Brave New World, Huxley creates a race that has no self respect as sexual beings, as the value and expression of love no longer exists. The World Controllers encourage society as a whole to
Huxley emphasises this by creating an atmosphere of a buzzing, noisy, active background by describing the scene in immense detail, to express to the reader the intense claustrophobic lifestyle that the citizens of Brave New World experience, by this Huxley successfully creates to us the conditions that the citizens have became conditioned and immune to. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, This is contrasted in Nineteen Eighty Four, Orwell does not go as far in Huxley that natural conception and birth is abolished and reconstructed elsewhere, however family loyalty and love is discouraged, and the sexual act is reduced to merely begetting children. Orwell successfully accomplishes this by introducing the concept of the Anti-Sex League, 'Its real, undeclared purpose was to remove all pleasure from the sexual act... Sexual Intercourse as to be looked on as a slightly disgusting minor operation, like having an enema.' / 'There were even organizations such as the Anti-Sex League which advocated complete celibacy for both sexes... The Party as trying to kill the sex instinct or, if it could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it.' Orwell imagines a society that again uses the same narrative technique as Huxley he uses debased language and imagery through extremely effective propaganda. The constant use of this in Orwell's novel expresses how easy and it is for the leaders to influence its people. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
