Dystopian literature is the complete opposite of utopian literature, which is an ideal society where everything is perfect, in which the world is ruled by a totalitarian leader, or a post-apocalyptic world . Dystopian literature, unlike other genres, adapts to the changing times and norms of society; while we may not find the Russians as frightening as our parents or grandparents, our children or grandchildren may not find ISIS as frightening as we do. The first work considered to be part of dystopian literature is Utopia published by Thomas More in 1516, it is written as a dialogue between the narrator and a fictionalized version of More. Gulliver's travels are also considered dystopian, as he discovered that he and the people of London are no better than The Trial of Franz Kafka. The protagonists of the story, Josef K, were arrested for unclassified reasons and then sent to court for a very non-specific crime; this story leads to George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World (Willians, “Dark Days: The Fascinating History of the Dystopian Novel). In 1985, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood was published; its history was that of a military Christian theocracy where women were not allowed to read, control bank accounts, or reproduce freely. It helped the feminist movement and also became a more modern example of how dystopian literature could actually stand the test of time and remain current and current with society (Willians, “Dark Days: The Fascinating History of the Dystopian Novel). The first book worth a closer look is definitely George's 1984. Big Brother uses TV screens to spy on the people of Oceania, and he also uses the Thought Police to patrol them. The thought police also watched them by looking out their windows; thus, they try to guarantee that no one will rise up against Big Brother, which in turn is Oceania. Ensuring that the people of Oceania believed what was said on television screens, the Ministry of Truth would broadcast propaganda showing that what was said was true. The four ministries did the opposite of their name; Since then, there has been The Ministry of Truth: lies, the Ministry of Peace: war, the Ministry of Plenty: famine, and the Ministry of Love: torture (Orwell 4). To emphasize the irony of it all, the motto of the Ministry of Truth was: War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. As part of teaching people to hate freedom and many other things that would not be allowed in their "perfect" society, they would have Hate Week; this is where they bring together all the Ocianians and gather against the enemies of “justice”. The dystopian element is very evident in 1984, with a totalitarian ruler and a brainwashed population, as it shows that the government was not concerned about the psychological effects that this type of society can have on people. This shows how great lengths a government can go to try to ensure that someone will follow a new
