Abstract
The main aim of this research paper is to analyze and explore Totalitarianism and its heinous impacts on any society. The other purpose of research paper is to take a deep look at Marxism with its history, principles and ideologies. The next target is exploring the terms utopia and dystopia and their creation. The next important aim of this research paper is to interlink all these terms; Totalitarianism, Marxism and Dystopia. One causes the other. The purpose of main study is the impacts of totalitarianism and Marxism towards the creation of dystopia. George Orwell's selected fictions include Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). Both of these novels fulfill the above mentioned themes and for the first time all these themes will be connected and analyzed according to these two master pieces. Totalitarianism is a form of tyrant government in which a dictator rules the country according to his own wish and desire. History is full of such totalitarian leaders. The current research paper describes the history of the Totalitarianism and totalitarian dictators. The next resort is Marxism which is work of Karl Marx and he openly described themes, principles and ideologies of Marxism. Marxist study is embellished with capitalism in which a ruler or the upper class works to get control of the economy while exploiting the lower class. The dangerous impact of totalitarianism and capitalism is that it generates dystopian society and George Orwell's novels are perfect choice for this research paper.
