Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451

Brave new world and Fahrenheit 451 both focus on dystopian societies and an individual protagonist that revolts against the beliefs of the New World.

In the book Brave New World the protagonists name is Bernard. He is an outcast in his society. The society he lives in is a oppressing and inhuman society. The government sets all people on a drug called soma that makes them forget about all free thoughts and provides religious experiences. The people around Bernard have no human feelings, this is a society where no love needed. Bernard is outraged and wants to revolt against the government.


In the other dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451 focuses on Guy Montag. He is a part of the firesquad, there squad is meant too burn all books. The government in this book is crazy since they are slaughtering freethinkers and because books encourage freethinking they burn all remaining books of the old system. Guy is starting to question all this nonsense because he read that firemen used to stop fires not evoke them.
