Abstract
This thesis talks about the origins of the literary genre of utopia and the way it developed throughout history. If follows the timeline that transforms utopia into dystopia as well as the importance of perspective. The concept of utopia and dystopia is then exemplified with two novels, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Through the three selected topics of power, family, and technology, the thesis discusses how they are used and the conditions to serve the state in both novels. The discussion shows while family and power in both novels are treated in the same way, technology in Brave New World appears to be serving its citizens, but in the end, it is still used to control them, which again corresponds to the only available technology in Nineteen Eighty-Four. The paper discusses the necessary destruction of the family nucleus in order to maintain power over its inhabitants and how raising and nurturing become conditioning.
