Characteristics of Dystopian Fiction

Back Story

Society

Because a fictional universe has to be constructed a selectively- told back story of a war, revolution, uprising, critical over population, or other disaster is often introduced early in the narrative

the aggregate of people living together in a more or less ordered community

Back Story

"So Coner went looking a little deeper when his parents were out, and he found it. The unwind order ... The white copy was already gone ---off with the authorites." { page 6 }

  • he went back to look which is a back story because he went back.

Nature

Society

The society frequently isolates the characters from all contact with the natural world. Dystopias are commonly urban, and generally avoid nature, as when walks are regarded as dangerously anti-social in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. The lower classes of society are conditioned to be afraid of nature.

Social Groups

In a typical dystopia, there is a total absence of any social group besides the state. Even more than religion, family is attacked by dystopian societies.

Economics

The economy often relates directly to the elements that the writer is depicting as the source of the oppression.
