In the novels 1984 and Brave New World, The superior controllers .
effectively manipulate the society's thoughts and actions through various methods, which are .
unique in each novel. In both novels, history is distorted (or altered) completely, .
and the emotions and thoughts of the populations are controlled by a successful .
combination of thoughts, ideas, and high-powered minority groups. In .
1984 the world is controlled by fear as in the threat of the thought police, constant observation .
and the brainwashing of the young throughout the education system. In Brave New .
World its policies are taught through Hypnopaedia, Social Predestination, and a .
reality disturbing drug called Soma, all which keeps the population content or happy with .
their lives.
In the novels 1984 and Brave New World the populations were divided into .
different groups. In the novel 1984, the party member, which themselves are divided into .
upper and lower party classes, and the proletarians, which are the.
lowest class, are divided from the party members. The Proles in 1984 are similar in .
idea to the savages in the novel Brave New World, "The Proles are not human beings" they .
are left alone to live without the control the rest of the population live under, .
without rules imposed upon them. They can be controlled, but for the most part .
both the Proles and savages are left to live uninterrupted by the lives of the rest of .
the population, as they do not pose a threat to the government. .
In Brave New World, the population is pre-conditioned as embryos to .
define their class. There are five such classes, or castes, which the children will .
become - Alphas, Betas, Gamma's, Deltas, and Epsilons (there is also such classes as beta-minus or beta-plus). This is similar to the .
citizens of 1984, who are also divided into class, mostly defined by their parents' .
position in the working class. The classes are the Inner party, then the Outer party, and .
