| dc.description.abstract | Ikhlas v ABSTRACT In spite of the extensive research on the development of the social institution of marriage and family life through the ages, little is known with certainty about the future of marriage and whether it will remain an institution in decline till it eventually ceases to exist. In their futuristic novels Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell went beyond merely reflecting contemporary social happenings, to predicting the future of humanity, social life, and social institutions. The plethora of literature dealing with Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four often overlooked the representations of marriage and the family in the two novels, which is the area this study delves into. With the aid of the two English writers, this present study aims at analyzing the two future worlds presented in the novels and the way they relate to the real world, with particular focus on relationships between the sexes, and identifying the reasons for the two societies to break with the institution of marriage and family life as related mainly to the state regulations, the use of technology and the abolition of the traditional gender roles. This research, thus, employs a sociological approach with emphasis on Marxist and Feminist theories from which the findings of this study will be drawn. | en_US |
