The thesis compares dystopian elements in the novels We (Yevgeny Zamyatin) and Abadon (Janez Mencinger), with an emphasis on the key similarities and differences in the depiction of totalitarian societies. The ideologies of both social systems are analyzed, along with the techniques used to suppress individual freedom, while also addressing certain formal elements of the novels, such as the narrative perspective. The thesis describes the transition from utopia to dystopia and outlines some of its fundamental features. The central focus is on comparative analysis of the dystopian elements between Zamyatin’s We and Mencinger’s Abadon.
The thesis thus covers the key research points: dystopia and dystopian elements, Yevgeny Zamyatin, the most significant dystopian elements in We, Janez Mencinger, the most significant dystopian elements in Abadon, and a comparison of the elements in We and Abadon.
