When I read 1984 I can't help but compare it to the multitude of other Dystopian novels I have read. Specifically ones like Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451. These novels share a lot fo key similarities, an oppressive government looking to suppress culture. Meaningless social structure, rampant violence and war. Bradbury's work is much more positive, as the ending is one of hope and looks towards a future where people can return to a civilized society. 1984 has a somber and disheartening ending, almost a warning to its readers.
