In the novel Fahrenheit 451 the main struggle for power deals with the government. Our neurologists are mat work upon it now. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. According to the ruling party, they try to create a dystopian society where even sex is just a formality and not for pleasure. In 1984, this can be seen throughout the novel as the government tries to eliminate everything pleasurable.

Their want for more and more power is a vivid example of control in the novels. The governments in novels Big Brother and The Party in 1984 and The Firemen in Fahrenheit 451 have dominant control over their citizens and they have a lot of similarities in their ways of controlling. Both novels contain vivid dystopian worlds from which we can see strong resemblances to our present societies and that is the dangers of a controlled government and how visible this control is in both novels. Warnings of what society could possibly degenerate to are presented in 1984 by George Orwell and in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. present within these novels speaks to the relevance of these novels within their historical context and their usefulness for awakening people to the horrendous consequences of their ignorance. The similar fear of the abuse of power and technology of the state at the expense of human individuality, core values etc. A single character is alienated because of his inability to conform and accept the laws of society. Fear of the consequences of acting in the non-prescribed way is shown through the protagonists, who were the few people in each novel to eventually find the light and what constitutes as a good life, only for it to be their biggest flaw.

The novels 1984 by George Orwell and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury established the atmosphere of the government control over everything the citizens do-even in what they think.

The trickery and the treachery by both ruling government shows their similarities in their oppressive control and this is very evident in both novels. Visions of a bright future held by humanity were taken advantage of by the promise of a better life through the sacrifice of individuality to the state. Several conflicting frames of mind have played defining roles in shaping humanity throughout the twentieth century. Fahrenheit 4 are two different books with a lot of similarities and although written years ago, can still be applicable to the world today.
