However, both are uber-unique examples of literature penned in the English language. I admit it took me quite a while to obtain a literary lust for 1984, yet the latter was written as a novel and they usually have a slow build-up, whereas Animal Farm was a novella.Ĭorrelating Animal Farm and 1984 is a bit complicated as their genres don’t fully match. Last week, I had finally gotten my hands on the paperback version of Animal Farm. The problem was that this was my final semester and I was already suffering from the procrastination that came with my thesis-report deadlines. So, maybe I’ll write a contrasting article later on when I get the chance.Īfter I handed back the book to the lecturer, he specifically told me to start reading Animal Farm. Indeed, I would’ve written an article on dystopian fiction after reading 1984, but I was never given an opportunity to read the books these afore-mentioned movies were based upon. I couldn’t sleep for weeks after completing it and it kept haunting in me in both my dreams and in real life-which is a positive attribute for any art form that I am able to access. These did not at all have the impact on me which 1984 immediately had after my being halfway through it. It ended up becoming one of the best novels I’ve ever read (the total number of novels I’ve read have accumulated into just about a hundred right now).īefore reading 1984, I had already watched a multitude of dystopian film-series: The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, etc. I borrowed it from a lecturer at my university but I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Instead of writing a comprehensive analysis between the two must-reads, I’ve decided to write a short comparison of them.
