The Anti-Utopian Novel: Making Connections by Pairing 1984 with The Giver (Pam B. Cole, Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Georgia from Classroom Notes Plus, December 1997)
Though one can hardly argue that human beings have lost their desire for a utopian world, recurring revolutions and civil wars led by such dictators as Hitler, Stalin, Khomeini, and Hussein have thwarted our vision of a world filled with peace and harmony. More and more, teachers are including in their classroom anti-utopian literature, literature that describes the dehumanizing effects of totalitarian rule and that illustrates what can happen in society if democracy and human integrity are denied. Such literature, we hope, may encourage students to appreciate and support democracy and human integrity.
