Abstract
Both George Orwell and Anthony Burgess are among the most
important English novelists to emerge in the twentieth century. They
have made major contributions to contemporary literature and
thought. Their innovative works in diverse genres and their unusual
choice of literary subjects have provided important models. The
greatest achievements of the two writers lie in their ability to record
and interpret the political, social and economic changes of their times.
They are both regarded as great writers of dystopian or anti-utopian
novels, who are keen on extrapolating from the most obvious and
important events and trends which were prevalent in their lifetime.
The aim of this thesis is to compare Orwell’s 1984 and Burgess’s
1985 as two dystopian novels, and to highlight the analogies and
differences between them concerning the theme, details, plot situations
and characters. The thesis is also intended to demonstrate the attitudes
of both Orwell and Burgess to language in general and the English
language in particular.
The thesis comprises five chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one
deals with the definition and origin of two diametrically opposed
terms, namely ”utopia” and ”dystopia”. It also reviews the most
important and prominent utopian and dystopian works that have
emerged since Plato till the twentieth century.
