dc.description.abstract | The research component of this thesis discusses the use of violence within dystopian fiction and whether or not violence is essential to the story line and why this is the case . With the help of three novels, namely Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Lois Lowry's The Giver, each written years apart, violence is thoroughly examined, and its use in each novel is compared to one another. This thesis also contains an original piece of fiction, in which the knowledge gained from the research portion, is used in practice to further examine the importance of violence in dystopian fiction. | |
