Macbeth 2: Fleance’s Triumph Please pick up your spiral as you enter. Now for our next unit… Macbeth 2: Fleance’s Triumph Please pick up your spiral as you enter.

Just kidding Our next unit focuses on Dystopian literature. I like to say the novels are about sex, drugs, violence, and mind control. This is kind of a joke, but also fairly accurate. These works involve societies that are completely different, yet eerily similar to some aspects of our own.

Today’s Agenda Dystopian Literature Introduction: Your own utopia and dystopia Dystopias versus Utopias Get your read on

My utopia and dystopia Take a few minutes to jot down your ideas about the following prompts: What would your perfect world look like? Now, what would the opposite look like?

Utopias and Dystopias

Utopia Ou = No, not Topos = Place Optimistic vision of future society Agrarian/Natural Communistic/Socialistic Religious/Spiritual

Real Attempts at Utopias The Transcendentalists at Brook Farm Massachusetts in the 1840s Members tried to balance work and labor Never financially profitable, but devastated by a fire that burned down their major structure The Perfectionists at Oneida Started in the late 1840’s in New York Believed the Second Coming happened in the year 70 A.D. and thus perfection was possible Group eventually disbanded and became the Oneida Silverware Company Jonestown Founded in South America by Jim Jones In 1978, 909 people died by self-induced cyanide poisoning

Dystopias Dys = bad, wrong Topos = place Some common themes : Subjection, destruction, or mastery of nature Nature becomes barren or turns against humankind Technological advances enslave humans or regiment their lives Mandatory division of people in society into castes or groups with specialized functions Collective loss of memory and history State manipulation of humans Dehumanization

Total Terror The Effect on the Individual No guarantees Total submission and total sacrifice Destruction of the very basis of social relations

Dystopias Orwell’s 1984

Dystopias Huxley’s Brave New World

Dystopias Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451

Reading Day 1 Summary In your spiral, set up a chart like this: What is frightening about this society (Dystopian view) What could be perceived as positive about this society (Utopian view)

Questions to Consider Which aspects of this society are negative or frightening? Which aspects seem positive or beneficial? Which aspects do you see mirrored in your own ideas of a dystopian or utopian society?
