As one looks closely at the two societies, it becomes evident that there is a common desire to maintain a place wherein no one is poor or hungry, and where wealth is a commonplace status. This type of society has essentially been reached in both novels. The utopian state is also maintained at all costs in both situations as well. This is apparent with the Thought Police present in George Orwell's story, as well as with the exile of the Director in Huxley's story.

In essence, the main difference between the two societies lies in the way in which they were established. In 1984, the Party gained control after a war, and established control over society by means of vast political restructuring.

One similarity between the two novels does become very strikingly apparent. The presence of any means of control and supervision was constantly present in both societies. In 1984, there was the Thought Police who watched one's every move. There was also the ever-obtrusive eye of the telescreen in every house and establishment:

Between the two societies there exist many differences as well. As mentioned before, there exists the similarity in the fact that there is an effective means of control in both societies, but the manner in which control is maintain
