| Rezumat: | Abstract: Utopias are a well-established part of the European imaginary, while dystopias first became known in the twentieth century. The dystopias start out as a possible utopia, focusing on a certain aspect of their contemporary society, but then they slide into a realm in which the improvements brought to that society are perceived negatively. While most of the characters in the dystopias perceive them as utopias, the exception are the outcasts who have either lived in a different society or who can see beyond the control exerted over the citizens. The focus of the paper is on the transformation of the utopia in a dystopia through the lens provided by such outcast protagonists in Aldous Huxleyʼs Brave New World. |
