AUTHORITARIAN STRUCTURES AND POLITICAL ORDER IN DYSTOPIAN FICTION IN THE SELECTED WORKS

Abstract

A party uses its ideologies to rule itself. It adheres to and uses a certain political system to keep its power. This also applies to dystopian fiction. The dominant party creates its own politics, which is the sole distinction. None of them should be disregarded, whether they are totalitarian rule or excessive freedom. Although there are many other political systems, authoritarian and autonomous government are the main subjects of this study. The dystopian novels we studied in 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World all use these political structures. The "Inner Party" is at the apex of the hierarchical structure in 1984. In the hierarchical structure, the inner party members are the most powerful and live in luxury. Next is the Outer party, which is ranked second in the Ministry of Truth hierarchy, where the main character works. The "Outer party" must put in a lot of effort to set up and keep BIG BROTHER's standing in the community.

Next are the "Paroles," who are members of the working class and have the least influence in society and the hierarchical structure. Like this, the fire-fighters and salamanders in Fahrenheit 451 are members of the powerful upper classes of society. They try to destroy the books of those who have read them. The government has a hostile attitude toward most students. This separates society into three groups: the general populace, book readers, and government officials. Additionally, among the three books in the research, Huxley's Brave New World depicts a system of caste hierarchy.
