This study tries to shed the light on the dystopian societies in two novels: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1931) and Sinclair Lewis's It Can’t Happen Here (1935).

The study briefly introduces the dystopian worlds in which the human society lives under the oppression and control of a totalitarian government, repressive rule or technological power.

It puts forward literature review and theoretical framework that discusses the dystopian societies as portrayed in the two novels.

Then, it tries to explore the theme of dystopian society in Huxley‘s Brave New World and focuses on how people are controlled.

The findings include the main ideas tackled in previous chapters.

Totalitarian system, control, technology and propaganda are the main types of dystopian practices in the portrayed communities.

The protagonists live in and suffer from these elements of dystopian society.

In the conclusion there is also a comparison between the novels exposing the similarities and differences in their reflections and treatment of their dystopian worlds.
