Similarities Between Animal Farm And Fahrenheit 451

Everyone wonders what the future will be like at least once in their lifetime. Ray Bradbury and George Orwell addressed this idea with the writing of their books, Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm. These novels force one to think about what the future may be like. In these two books the authors attempt to convey messages of warning about what may come to be in the future by creating a society in which everyone is oblivious to the option of individual rights. Then, by using allusions, the authors compare their fictional worlds to today's society and give signs that our current world may become like these fictional societies.

The readers know that Bradbury’s and Orwell’s worlds are not perfect and could be improved, but none of its inhabitants know that. In Animal Farm, the animals always remind themselves that, “doubtless it had been worse in the old days.” (Orwell, 113) The animals never think of rebelling against Napoleon in fear that they may return to the time when Mr. Jones ruled the farm, even though they might have been better with Jones than Napoleon. In Fahrenheit 451, nearly everyone thinks that they can not be any happier, and they refuse to change when change is offered. For instance, when Guy reads to Mildred's friends a poem from a book, they cry and say that books are awful and full of hurt. They have this reaction because they have never experienced the real pain of what the poem was about: war. They cry and criticize the poem about how terrible it is because it tells what war truly is. Guy, Mildred, and everyone else they know are currently in a war, but no one knows how horrible it is; Mildred and her friends have all heard that no one ever dies in a war. This shows that Bradbury also worries that people will become ignorant to the things that happen around them and will never know how terrible some things truly
