Abstract
Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 and Nineteen Eighty-Four are anglophone novels which depict dystopian societies. They are essentially imaginary societies set in the future in which life is either extremely difficult or unfair. The common theme in these novels is government control, which has been taken to the extremes, to the point where it suppresses individuality and freedom of its citizens. This thesis examines the methods which the governments in these three novels use to exert power over their citizens, which ultimately leads to the loss of individuality and freedom. Furthermore, this study explores other issues connected to the government control and individual freedom, such as control of information, censorship, conformity, oppression, importance of knowledge, unsustainability, lack of individuality, critical thinking, and artificial happiness. These novels can serve as a warning to today’s society and its future, as they raise important questions about conforming to the government control. The possible consequences of conforming to the government control are further explored.
