He literally ends his life changing lecture with something along the lines of "I hope I have helped people through my essays and literature, to show them the possible degradation that awaits them, and stop them from living lives they might enjoy that they ought naught to enjoy by any standard of decency"

Most people don't understand how crucial pic related is.

You're a rat in a cage my friend.

So here's the deal /lit/, I've got the task of comparing 1984 and brave new world in an essay of about 20 pages length as well as a presentation.

Most won't have read it (German here) and I'm wondering about how much detail I should put into explaining the situation in both worlds.
Any informational pictures (if they exist) such as pic related would be very interesting as well.

I'm not too often on /lit/, so ig threads like these aren't well looked upon here I understand.
Just tell me and I'll delete it then.

So, /lit/, after reading Fahrenheit 451 and A Clockwork Orange, I'm about to read these two famous dystopian romans.
Which one should I start with?
I'm kind of tempted to start with 1984, but I've heard Brave New World should be read first.
Any suggestions?

This comic is probably the easiest if not completely correct way to show the relevance of the work.

What I find most the most interesting question BNW brings up is that if happiness without a sense of nobility is bad. Most people intuitively dislike the society in BNW because they feel like those people 'aren't even human' because they enjoy simple pleasures and don't have deep tumultuous feels.

Brave New World is a more accurate reflection of where the world is going.

All dystopians have shit stories and characters, they are essentually nothing more than metaphors for arguements and Satirical social critque.

This is everything you need to know about the two books (full version)

Take your pick,

Althogh I prefere Make room Make room

How accurate is this?

The picture sums up my thoughts on this perfectly. Both are excellent books, but BNW scared the shit out of me a whole sight better.
