I was able to see several similarities throughout the book 1984 and Brave New World. First of all, both governments control sex in some aspect. 1984 restricts sex to basicly reproducing only for the addition of new members to the Party and not for personal pleasure. BNW encourages everyone to have sex to remain happy. They also have a huge impact on the younger generation. 1984 trains children to be better citizens than their parents and even "rat out" any parents or others who speak against the government. BNW grows and teaches its children to work for the government and bee happy with what class they are. Finally, each government keeps strict regulations on the literature that is provided. 1984 pretty much makes up its own history and publishes what it wants its citizens to believe and BNW keeps its people from reading any historical literature or anything dealing with relationships and love or families.
