How does the creation of new worlds allow authors and audiences

to explore the concerns relevant to their context?


The creation of new worlds allows authors to express their concerns about issues of
humanity and society and warn the people about their weakness. They use dystopia as a
literary technique to discuss the reality and depict issues that might happen in the future.
This helps to educate and give awareness to the audience and serve as a warning about the
current state of the world. In dystopia authors critique the bad aspects of society or a
system to show the effects of it in the future which sends a message. Writes use literary
skills to convince us not to live like this to change our ways before its too late.
Dystopian novels like any other well-written novel contain a strongly developed protagonist
and a mysterious controlling antagonist. Often the author labels the government or leader
of the corrupt society as the antagonist. George Orwell wrote 1984 with this fear of
government in mind and used it to portray his opinion of the current government discretely.
He brings to our attention the issues of technological surveillance, torture and propaganda
along with questions about the history of inequality and its origins. The Governmental
tyranny and an exploitation of the people is also an theme in a dystopia He clearly generates
fear by using these forms of technologies to enhance the theme of a dystopia.
