Brave New World
From the very beginning Winston and Bernard make them enemies of their society. These characters risk their lives to try and recapture what we take for granted today. Winston and Bernard try to keep their individuality and recapture through their jobs, and the way they live. Both 1984 and Brave new World show us that we must be careful to protect our ideas and way of life. Through the two main characters, Winston and Bernard, the authors show the readers that once tyranny takes hold reality and individuality are lost. Winston attempts to keep in his individuality through the apartment he rents. The apartment, which was rented from the owner of the antique store, is one way he makes himself different. The antique storeowner could sense how Winston was different from the others, and he showed that when he said, There's another room upstairs that you might care to take a look at."

A totalitarian society in which thoughts, actions and feelings are controlled. He realized that everything was fake and programmed. In their mind it is a safe haven, in reality it is a rat, pest and filth ridden slum. "(82) In truth there was a telescreen behind the etching, which leads to the capture of Winston and Julia. He saw the methods by which people were programmed. They wanted to change society back to the way it was. Something the rest of society didn't have. That was the reason that Bernard wanted to go to the savage reservation. It was hidden behind the etching of the church, that Winston thought was so nostalgic.
