   Summary

   This is not a fanfic! Don't read this if you're expecting a fanfic. This is my A-level analysis essay into Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 and the different ways the authors choose to present a dystopia with oppressive governments. Read this if you're interested in an essay deconstructing the ways totalitarianism was seen in a western post-war society. Also worth mentioning that Fahrenheit 451 is my favourite book of all time and I don't like 1984 at all, and although this essay makes an attempt at unbiased comparison, my personal feelings towards the novels may become evident.
