Throughout Allie Condie’s novel, Matched, the prominent theme is the perceived perfection that the Society offers through its rules and restrictions.

The goal of the autocratic design is not to provide citizens with the optimal health and happiness as promised, rather it is to control, manipulate, and condition citizens to conform to the Society’s way. This idea is demonstrated through the numerous references to artifacts that belong to some of the residents of Oria. Their symbolism not only aids in revealing the Society’s underlying motives but also demonstrates how the artifacts bring a sense of security and comfort to their…

"It 's a Beautiful Thing": Art, Culture, History and Humanity in George Orwell 's 1984 In 1984 George Orwell pulls readers into his horrific and at the same time awe- inspiring totalitarian society, dictated by a dystopian political system that builds a world on omnipresent surveillance, public manipulation, oppression, hatred, propaganda and "their sole motive, [which is] the quest for power" (Paul 215) . Due to the unconditional control the party has over Oceania, there is evidently a paucity of beauty, culture and history. Art plays a crucial part of humanity, history and our depiction of the truth.…

He also talks about the huge distance that separates the two.…
