Brave New World and The Color purple are two very distinct novels that convey two very different messages. However, it can be argued that they do have very similar ways of conveying it, most of the characters except lead insular lives, unaware of what is occurring outside their own small neighborhood. They are particularly unaware of the larger social and political currents sweeping the world. Despite their isolation, however, they work through problems of racism, sexism, violence, and oppression to achieve a wholeness, both personal and communal. It is evidently clear that Walker and Huxley construct a male dominant patriarchal society in these novels where women are oppressed and essentially stripped of their freedom, individuality and contentment.
