Paper Title:
The Dystopian Novel as a Reflection of Societal Anxiety: A Comparative Study of George Orwell’s 1984 and Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale under the Lens of Postmodernism
The present research paper aims to contribute to the existing scholarship on the dystopian novel as a mirror of societal anxieties. Through a comparative analysis of George Orwell’s classic masterpiece 1984 and Margaret Atwood’s critically acclaimed The Handmaid’s Tale, the study endeavours to explicate the recurring themes of oppression, totalitarianism, and surveillance as reflections of the existential fears and uncertainties of the postmodern era. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of postmodernism, the paper elucidates how the two novels offer alternative narratives that contest and subvert the dominant discourses of power and control and provide a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between the individual and the state in the dystopian world.
