An informative comparison of the effectiveness of arguments made in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell
Introduction
Censorship is a complex social concept that prohibits specifically targeted material that is considered dangerous or obscene in media such as books, news and film. This concept is considered from two unique perspectives in the novels Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell. Both arguments are constructed around dystopian societies established in censorship and the negatively implications it has on humanity. While 1984 is a compelling story about government control and rebellion, Fahrenheit 451 has a larger impact on its readers through consistently stronger overall use of influential literary narrative.
