Fahrenheit 451 Vs A Brave New World

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, published in 1932, is a masterpiece of science fiction. His imagined, dystopian state creatively employs facts and theories of science, as well as his very own thinly-veiled commentary on the future of society. His family background and social status, in addition to molding Huxley himself and his perspective, no doubt made impact on his writing and contributed to the scientific accuracy of his presentation. However, Huxley certainly qualifies as a social commenter and his extensive works, while sometimes biased, were always perceptive comments on the future of mankind, predictions made based on current event in his world. In other words, current affairs had undeniable impact on Huxley’s novel, and his

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a future world that has mechanized and removed all sense of life to being human. In this world, people work for the common good of the community and are conditioned to dislike what, today, we would consider common and healthy relationships with people and environments. The story follows a man, John, not born into the culture and his struggle with the unfamiliarity with the “Brave New World”. Published in 1932, Brave New World often leaves roots back to the world Aldous was in when he was writing the novel. I believe the genius of Huxley’s writing was his ability to effectively select the traits of 1930’s society that would later become a staple for Americanism in the coming century and, in time, allowing for a relatable story to the modern day while giving us warning to the future.

In the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Huxley includes allusion, ethos, and pathos to mock the wrongdoings of the people which causes physical and mental destruction in the society as a whole. The things that happened in the 1930’s plays a big contribution to the things that go on in the novel. The real world can never be looked at as a perfect place because that isn't possible. In this novel, Huxley informs us on how real life situations look in his eyes in a nonfictional world filled with immoral humans with infantile minds and a sexual based religion.

During the 1930s, the times of World War II and the Great Depression, Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World. There were several issues going on in Huxley’s time that are still present in today's world . Huxley features some of these problems in his book, Brave New World. These problems include drug or medicine usage, women and gender inequality, and traditional marriage/homosexuality. Since this book was written during the times of the Great Depression and World War II, these factors also contributed to some of these issues. Since World War II and the Great Depression are over, these do not affect the problems today. Although some of these problems are still a problem in today's world and society, they are not as much of a problem as they were during Huxley's time.

In any society, there are bound to be flaws. In both Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy and Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, major flaws of humanity are highlighted. Both authors discuss many issues we face, and offer ways to improve these issues. Bradbury suggests that society is too conformed, and the government is being hypocritical by telling us to fear a community in which everything is the same while facilitating that very type of place. Everyone in this cookie cutter world that Bradbury describes is identical. He suggests that the solution to this would be to let everyone live the way they want, with the freedom to be themselves and express their opinions. Bellamy argues that in our

In Brave New World Aldous Huxley, creates a dystopian society which is scientifically advance in order to make life orderly, easy, and free of trouble. This society is controlled by a World State who is not question. In this world life is manufactured and everyone is created with a purpose, never having the choice of free will. Huxley use of irony and tone bewilders readers by creating a world with puritanical social norms, which lacks love, privacy and were a false sense of happiness is instituted, making life meaningless and controlled.

Aldous Huxley has a humanistic, deep and enlightened view of how society should be, and of what constitutes true happiness. In his novel, Brave New World, he shows his ideas in a very obscure manner. Huxley presents his ideas in a satirical fashion. This sarcastic style of writing helped Huxley show his views in a very captivating and insightful manner. The entire novel describes a dystopia in which intimate relationships, the ability to choose one's destiny, and the importance of family are strictly opposed. In Huxley's mind, however, these three principles are highly regarded as necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling existence.

In both dystopian novels, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451, the major themes of the books are similar. These are the themes I will be comparing in the rest of this essay: be creative, be yourself, and do not be afraid. “Be yourself” is a major theme and “be creative” and “do not be afraid” are minor themes.

As analyzed by social critic Neil Postman, Huxley's vision of the future, portrayed in the novel Brave New World, holds far more relevance to present day society than that of Orwell's classic 1984.  Huxley's vision was simple:  it was a vision of a trivial society, drowned in a sea of pleasure and ignorant of knowledge and pain, slightly resembling the world of today.  In society today, knowledge is no longer appreciated as it has been in past cultures, in turn causing a deficiency in intelligence and will to learn.  Also, as envisioned by Huxley, mind altering substances are becoming of greater availability

happy and that is what we spend our lives doing, trying to be happy. This is what

Harrison Bergeson and Fahrenheit 451 was novels that had very similar life stories. They are similar in the sense that they both state men give up, never advance. Bradbury and Vonnegut were also similar because they were both visionaries. An you are probably thinking what is a visionaries?

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was written originally as a short story titled “The Fireman” and published by Galaxy Science Fiction in 1950; he later expanded the story into a novel published in 1953 called Fahrenheit 451. By comparison Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a thrilling book that burns all notions you have of storyline red and yellow and black. Guy Montag is an ironic fireman groomed by a dystopian society to burn in the literal sense. In the mid-20th century Ray Bradbury wrote a work of fiction that became art and still impacts readers today because it sees into the future of technological dependence in our society which is illustrated by his choice to include a variety of literary techniques to help the reader grasp the novels

People tend to look upon the future with hopeful optimism. Some may imagine flying cars and unfathomable knowledge, while others perhaps think of a more imminent future of self driving cars and and drone delivered packages. In short, the future is commonly viewed as beinging good. But one may see the future through a different lense. They may think of nuclear fallout, plagues and pestilence, and other awful things. But sometimes the distinction between utopia and dystopia can become muddled. In works such as Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, and Ray Bradbury 's Fahrenheit 451, the idea of an ambiguous future are ex. Both of these works have original ideas and stories. Brave New World focuses more on mass production and

“ Brave New World” was published in 1932. Aldous Huxley also wrote the books Visions, Books and Thoughts, Crome Yellow, Darkness, and Doors of the Temple. Most of the novels written by Aldous Huxley are classified as dystopian. Dystopian novels are novels that describe an imaginary society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible.

Ray Bradbury and George Orwell share a very similar theme in their two novels, Fahrenheit 451 and 1984. Winston Smith and Guy Montag work within an authoritarian organization, in which, they have opposing views of the authority. The novels are placed in a dystopian setting that the authority believes is a utopia. The dystopian fictions both have very similar predictions of the future. The predictions from these novels have not happened. However, it could be a short matter of time until the authors predictions on the future become reality.
