Learnt English Tutor Megan Discusses About Dystopia

Welcome to today's lesson on dystopia, but in order to talk about dystopia, we must first talk about utopia. Utopia equals perfection. So that must mean that dystopia equals imperfection. Now there's a very typical format that most utopian or dystopian movies and books follow.

Number one, everyone is the same. There is no individualism kind of like a carton of eggs. They all look the same. And the movie that comes to mind is the island. They don't know that they are clones and they are waiting for some island to go to some island to save humanity. They wear the exact same clothes every single day and do the exact same routines. Every single day.

Number two, society seems to be perfect, but really the people are limited emotionally and mentally though. They don't know that kind of like the a it's inside. It needs to come out. The book that that comes to mind is "The giver". The people are told who to marry what job to do. And again, they wear the same clothes. Every single day.

Number three, an individual or a small group of people realize the flaws as with this egg, it looks it's actually pretty dirty. We wouldn't know if you were just looking at this side. The movie that comes to mind for that is "The hunger games". Obviously Kat and Gale are very upset with their world and they know how imperfect is it.

It is and want to change number four. Once the people or the person realize the flaws, they attempt to destroy the society, or they try to pick out the flaws and save the society. And in doing so, they are either destroyed or killed, or whatever they're trying to do is destroyed just like in 1984, at the very end, Winston is not killed, but they make him forget what he wanted to do in the first place. And this has been your lesson on dystopia. Thank you.
