Abstract
“The Man in the High Castle” by Phillip K. Dick, and “The Long Tomorrow” by Leigh Brackett are two dystopian novels which explore the same issues from different perspectives. My study evaluates the authors’ approach towards the dystopian elements in their novels in regard to the research question: How successfully do Brackett and Dick explore the dystopian elements in the novels “The Long Tomorrow” and “The Man in the High Castle”? This research will come in the form of three main sections dealing with the Social Issues, Oppression of the Societies and Effects of War. Numerous dystopian elements will be evaluated separately with respect to the main sections. The authors’ approach towards dystopian elements will be evaluated and discussed from a third perspective, other than Dick’s and Brackett’s perspectives. Continuing with comparisons of two novels, not only similarities and differences, but also inductive reasoning will help us analyse these novels in depth and reach insights about dystopian novels in general. In the Conclusion, it was shown that two novels center on significant changes, and it can be observed that the creation of dystopias are initialized by these changes. These novels- paying attention to the era they were written in- focus on a change brought by wars and the eventual alterations that have transformed the people into dystopian societies
