Abstract
The Main topic of this study is the analysis and comparison of the depiction of utopian and dystopian principles in the novels "We" by Yevgeni Zamyatin and "1984" by George Orwell. In this research, we first look at the definition of utopia and dystopia, and at the definition, we seek the difference between dystopia and anti-utopia. Based on these definitions, we determine the genre of the two novels. Then, we look at the depiction of dystopia in the novels, the organization of society, and totalitarianism, comparing the novels "We" and "1984" to Thomas More's Utopia and Plato's Republic. This work aims to highlight the similarities and differences between two very important novels that deal with the problem of utopia and dystopia.
