These two dystopias are different for similar reasons in many ways. They both have government that want to see both societies happy and thriving. They might go about this in different ways, but they’re both trying to achieve a similar goal. They both use Freudian philosophy.

Thus, he lives up to the society’s expectations because the ideal New World citizens are those who prioritize the government’s stability over their health.
