Is it "1984" or "Brave New World"? (cartoon)
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
(VideoSparkNotes, 10/21/09) Orwell's 1984 Summary: Check out George Orwell's 1984, the video Spark Notes edition: Quick and easy synopsis, analysis, and discussion of major characters and themes in the dystopian novel. For more Nineteen Eighty-Four resources, go to sparknotes.com/lit/1984.
COMMENT (Agent Fungus, 7 years ago) Forgot to mention Winston and Julia's secret hideaway room [in the Proles' section of town], where they thought they were safe and were able to act like "normal" people. They did not realize this room was a setup until the telescreen behind a quaint painting spoke up just before the Thought Police burst into the room. Winston and Julia had been recorded the entire time they thought they had privacy. So sad.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
(VideoSparkNotes, 12/19/11) Aldous Huxley's Brave New World summary: Check out Aldous Huxley's dystopian-utopian Spark Notes edition: Quick and easy synopsis, analysis, and discussion of major characters and themes in the novel. For more Brave New World resources, go to sparknotes.com/lit/bravenew.
