인물 탐구
George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are often compared due to their explorations of dystopian futures, totalitarianism, and the loss of individual freedom. Despite their distinct approaches—Orwell’s 1984 focuses on a brutal, repressive regime, while Huxley’s Brave New World presents a society controlled by pleasure and consumerism—both authors envision futures where human autonomy is eroded under authoritarian structures. Their works reflect a fear of dehumanization, where citizens are either subjugated through surveillance and violence or lulled into complacency by engineered happiness and distraction.
At the heart of both Orwell’s and Huxley’s visions is a concern about the manipulation of truth. In 1984, truth is constantly reshaped to serve the interests of the ruling Party, with history being rewritten and language reduced to limit thought (through Newspeak). In Brave New World, truth is not concealed or distorted in the same violent manner, but becomes irrelevant, submerged beneath a flood of shallow pleasures and distractions that prevent people from caring about deeper realities. Both perspectives highlight a potential outcome of the erosion of critical thought in society.
Their relevance today stems from ongoing debates over technology, state power, and media manipulation. Orwell’s insights into surveillance and authoritarianism resonate in discussions about government overreach, privacy, and the dangers of centralized power, especially in the digital age. Meanwhile, Huxley’s vision of control through pleasure and distraction feels prophetic in the context of consumerism, media saturation, and the increasing influence of entertainment and technology on human behavior.
