Abstract
This thesis will deal with dystopian themes as portrayed in the following four novels: George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (1954), Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968), and Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One (2011). The dystopian themes in question are despotism, social strata and slavery, religion, and reality as simulacrum. The novels differ in the way they approach each of the themes, but they ultimately all deliver the message that the root of dystopia lies not in how a society is organised, but in the very nature of humanity.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se distopijskim temama prikazanima u sljedećim romanima: Tisuću devetsto osamdeset četvrta (1949.), Igrač broj jedan (2011.), Gospodar Muha (1954.) i Sanjaju li androidi električne ovce? (1968.). Distopijske teme o kojima je riječ su: despotizam, društveni poredak i ropstvo, religija i stvarnost kao simulakrum. Romani se razlikuju u svom pristupu svakoj od tema, no svaki od njih naposljetku šalje poruku kako distopija ne potječe od određenog načina organizacije društva, već potječe iz same ljudske prirode.
