The dystopian works Filio is not at Home, The Bird House, and 1984 contain various elements of social criticism, which I determine in all three novels by analyzing factors harmful to individuals or society in literary events. By comparing dystopias, I define the relationship between power and control and focus on the ways in which society is controlled in the novels. I explain and more precisely define the elements of social criticism by referring to the time and place where the novels were written, while also noting that certain aspects of social criticism in the works remain timelessly relevant.
