Rachel Malloy 28 November 2014 APE 3 Complete Government Exploitation of Love The novels, 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley both showcases how the futuristic totalitarian governments take complete control of their societies. In 1984, the government does it by putting fear of Big Brother and the party into the people. Whereas in Brave New World, they control them by having people take soma, a drug which does not allow people to feel emotions or really anything. The views on love are similar but yet differ between the novels, in Brave New World, John, a savage, comes to truly love Lenina which Lenina only understands as that she should have sex with him. In 1984, Winston believes that he should have sex with someone he loves, which he thought was true with his wife, but it turned out not to be. He later comes to love Julia which he sleeps with and they are punished for it. Whereas in Brave New World, John’s mother, Linda, is punished by being sent to live with savages after falling in love. In the two novels, 1984 and Brave New World, Orwell and Huxley both depict throughout their futuristics novels how the dystopian government functions in controlling love and relationships in society but the punishments and views on love are much different in the two novels. In the novel, 1984, the government controlled people by not only making them fear Big Brother but also by watching them through the telescreens.
