Although the societies are different John and Winston are similar in their statements. In John’s society they want people to experience as much happiness as they can. In the Brave New World they won’t people to feel good so they give them all the sex they can. In Winston’s society they don’t want them to have pleasure in sex at all except for creating people.
The two people are similar because they want to rebel against the society and don’t agree with it. John thinks that the people should be able to believe in what they want to and learn about the history and scientific parts of things. He rebels in the society by killing himself and going against the treatment he is given. Winston also believes that his society of people should be introduced to their history (which would lead to the civilization falling). He rebels by committing crimes secretly like writing in a journal, keeping old things like the glass paperweight, and committing the crime of having sex for pleasure.
Winston is saying that his society is to good to be true because they make up all the rules at different times. He thinks that being to pure and perfect is a bad thing. This is why he wants to go against Big Brother because he knows that this culture is unbalanced. In addition, he likes committing these crimes cause no else does it until he finds out the Julia been doing it for a long time. He doesn’t like her because she’s had sex with a lot of men but likes her cause she’s been going against the society all along and other people have too.
