Strengths/Weaknesses in Orwell's 1984?

[iconoclast]

Hey guys, I'm doing a report on Orwell's 1984 in comparison with Huxley's Brave New World. Anyways, one of the aspects of the report is to include strengths and weaknesses of both novels. I've managed to come across a few in various critical essays and reviews I've found lying around the internet, but so far I haven't really been able to find anything too concrete. Just wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas about where I might start with this? Much appreciated! Thanks!

It might be a good idea to read the books. They're both excellent to read. In Brave New World people are conditioned from birth to believe, feel and think in a certain way for control. They are adapted, from before birth, to 'like their environment' so that they'll be good workers. There are no desires or wants to distract them from their duties and, if that fails, there's always the drug, "Soma", to make them happy. The bottom line is - They are not allowed to think.

In 1984 Sex is not allowed exept when there is the purpose of having a child and there is no enjoyment, in the act, allowed - especially for the woman. This is supposed to increase the energy towards their work and the loyalty to Big Brother. There is only the present and no past. What is now has always been. People are not to show any disagreement with the way things are. They are not allowed to think.

There's one comparison.
