Comapring George Orwells 1984 and Aldous Huxleys stout New WorldImagine a world in which people be produced in factories, a world lostof all freedom and individuality, a world where people be exiled or disappearfor breaking the mold. Both 1984 by George Orwell and Aldous HuxleysBrave New World are startling depictions of such a society. Although thesenovels are of fictional worlds, control of the future may be subtly evolving andbecoming out-of-the-way(prenominal) worse than Huxley or Orwell could ever have imagined. Eachsociety destroys the freedom of the individual through various controllingmethods such as the denial of dustup and literature, a caste system and conditioning.One way in which each society controls is by limiting the talking to andliterature of every citizen. In 1984, a language called Newspeak is devised inorder to narrow all thought into one mode. There are three categories of Newspeak vocabulary A, B and C. The A vocabulary consists of address usedin everyd ay life to express simple thoughts. The B vocabulary includes wordsmeant for political usage, forcing a particular mental state on the person usingthe vocabulary. Finally, the C vocabulary is based solely on technical andscientific words, constructed of only strict and rigid meanings. Individualthought is on the whole impossible because the constricted vocabulary is intendedto include only principles of the Newspeak language. The vocabulary isconstructed so that words of unorthodox meaning such as individual freedomare eliminated all together. Newspeak is designed to douse the flame ofthought and idea, while encouraging collective ideas. Over time, Newspeakdestroys any variation of idea from the intention of the Partys. literary works is also slowly altered so that the authors original meaning is lost to the meaning of the Newspeak language. Newspeak translations seem to consume thoughts and memories much like a sponge absorbs water.

For example, this is expressed in a scene where Bernard takes Lenina out on a first date. He suggests they go for a walk and talk, but Lenina finds such an activity distasteful. She instead persuades Bernard to take her to the Semi-Demi Finals of the Womens Heavyweight Wrestling Championships (Huxley 64). Soma tablets are also distributed in order to settle any hint of revolt or occurrence of thought. It is a drug taken to dull the senses of the urgency and desire for actio n. For as Lenina says, Remember one isometric centimetere cures ten gloomy sentiments (Huxley 89). Throughout 1984 and Brave New World, each method of control isintended to keep the individual from questioning their individuality. By limiting language and literature, creating social classes and conditioning, these societies are able to accomplish their goal. Yet, as long as humans continue to desire to acquire knowledge, this will never be allowed to happen. For it is upon the strengths of the individuals that our complete society is built.
